When Emma’s messy room leaves a little yellow sock lonely on the floor and her twin buried in a toy box, the socks decide to speak up. They don’t mind being spun like helicopters and used in games—but they do want to sleep in their own drawer when playtime is over. As Emma listens to what her socks have to say, she realizes her toys, hair ties, and pillows might “feel” the same way. With their gentle help, Emma starts putting things back where they belong, and slowly her whole room begins to sparkle.
