It’s not easy when you’re shy, so every day she brings her cardboard box filled with something different to share. Until, finally, she discovers that all she truly needs to share is herself.<br /> </p><p><strong>Boy (H) – Kane Miller</strong><br />The king’s battles with the dragon were always mighty and loud.
