Every evening at exactly 11:11pm,
the shelves began to whisper —

Oscar doesn’t pick his socks—they pick him. Each mismatched pair gives him a new superpower. One day it’s courage, the next, compassion. But when Oscar faces a real challenge—like helping a friend or facing a fear—he learns the socks were only helping him find the superpower he already had.

Oliver is a shy, introverted boy who has a special talent for finding music in everyday sounds. Whether it's the rustle of leaves, the pitter patter of rain, or the hustle of the city, he hears music that others may miss. He turns ordinary sounds into his own personal symphony of emotions.

Finn Wildwood is very adventurous and has a passion for exploring nature. H parents have always supported his explorations, turning each day into a treasure hunt. His backpack is filled with all the explorer essentials and his compass is his guide to discovering magical places only he can find.

Cosmo loves stargazing and always has a telescope by his side. He believes every star in the sky is a distant world waiting to be discovered. His backpack is filled with astronaut snacks and space maps, ready for any adventure. He dreams big and believes that curiosity is the best rocket fuel.

Meet River. He's a boy who is fascinated with water. He is rarely seen without his trusty sea diver's helmet, which he wears proudly, even on sunny days. His imagination takes him on mini-expeditions to imaginary worlds found in puddles on the sidewalk, ponds in the park and even at bath time.
