Synopsis
Maya is thrilled to play Mary in the school Nativity, but she's taken aback when the baby Jesus doll is pink. Feeling her brown skin doesn't match, she considers stepping down. Her classmates bring in dolls of various colours, yet none seem right. Their teacher crafts a vibrant, multi-coloured blanket for the baby, symbolising inclusivity. With this thoughtful touch, Maya shines in her role, and the play becomes a heartwarming success.
