About the Story
Mila wants to prove to her family that she’s a BIG KID!
Her plan is to do everything on her own, without asking for help - not even once! She uses her creativity, willpower, and even her new cochlear implant hearing devices, to tackle one big kid activity after another.
But when faced with something new that she can’t figure out on her own, will Mila finally prove just how mighty she is?
Mighty Mila is silly, engaging, and fun for all kids (best suited for children ages 3-8), and contains the message that with imagination, perseverance, and even a little help from others, you can do everything and anything you set your mind and heart on.
