Mia's grandmother asks her about her favorite subject in school, and Mia humorously replies that it's recess. When asked if all children play together, Mia recalls Bruno, a boy who sat alone during recess. The next day, Mia talks to Bruno and learns that he feels left out because of his food allergies. Realizing this, Mia asks the teacher to educate the class about food allergies. The students become more aware and make sure that Bruno and others with allergies can safely participate in class events. Mia is proud, and her grandmother explains to Mia’s brother Luka that empathy is understanding and caring for others. From then on, the children help each other and grow more connected by caring about each other's feelings and needs.
