In a world that seems to never make sense, a young boy finds solace in books of poetry.

On their first day of school, four imaginative kids feel like they don’t belong, until they learn that everyone has a unique story to share. The Day You Begin is a journey of self-acceptance, courage, and the magic that comes when we connect with others. Bursting with color, laughs, and compassion, this animated adaptation brings Jacqueline Woodson’s beloved book to life, reminding kids that every voice matters and every difference is a strength.
