Banda superstar Chiquis wasnt always a confident performer. Like a lot of children who have big dreams but feel anxious around people, she relied on the love and support of her family to build the strength to take her first steps toward stardom.
Janney and her mum always sang together to help the flowers in Abuelitas garden grow. But now her mom is gone, and Janneys song is stuck, somewhere deep inside. Bullies at school dont help.
Every day, Janney watches one particular bee in Abuelitas garden. Working harder than the others - focused and unafraid - the tiny bee doesnt give up. Janney begins to feel inspired by the hardworking bee as the seasons change, until one afternoon, a melody escapes her lips, and Janneys song once again fills the air in the garden.
And when the music begins, her moms songs sing through her heart, giving Janney the strength to overcome her fears and sing loudly and proudly to the bees . . . and beyond.
