But one morning, her sunny routine is interrupted by a sharp, unfamiliar pain in her jaw. As Coco tries to ignore the growing ache, she realizes it might have started during a game with her friend Milo the Monkey. Determined not to show weakness, Coco hides her discomfort behind a forced smile, even fooling her friend Benny the Beaverfor a while.

Through gentle storytelling, this tale explores how even the bravest creatures need help sometimesand that true friendship means being there when it hurts.
