What do you do when everyone sees you as different?

In the magical time between night and day, when both the sun and the moon are in the sky, a child is born in a little blue house on a hill. And Miu Lan is not just any child, but one who can change into any shape they can imagine. The only problem is they can’t decide what to be: a boy or a girl? A bird or a fish? A flower or a shooting star? They find comfort in the loving arms of their mother, who always offers the same loving refrain: “whatever you dream of / I believe you can be / from the stars in the sky to the fish in the sea.”

Trying to "fit in" at school is something every child understands. Having trouble finding friends who will accept them for who they are is just part of the challenge Miu Lan faces while navigating through what it means to be their true self. Will the help of a mother's unconditional love be enough for Miu Lan to affirm and claim their own unique identity?
