Why be basic when you can be different?
It’s the first day at a new school for Bubble Gum Boy. He’s nervous and a bit scared, we have all been through this. He’s afraid no one will want to play with him: after all, he’s the only kid made of bubble gum!
What a surprise when he discovers that his classmates….they are all different too! Tangerine smells of flowers and knows so much about Dinosaurs, Ernest the frog swims like a pro and likes to sing. Actually, Bubble is pretty cool too: he’s super elastic and all things get glued to him. After all, being the same is so basic.

Different is way better!
