In this sweet story about friendship, Punch the Monkey feels left out and alone — until he discovers that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is say “hello.” When Potter hears about Punch, he decides to be a friend whenever he can. Together they learn that everyone feels lonely sometimes… and everyone deserves to feel loved.

With a gentle, rhyming friendship verse little ones can repeat along the way, this episode helps children understand big feelings and reminds them that new friends might be waiting, sometimes closer than we think.
