A dyslexic kindergarten student named Michy just can't fit into the usual classroom mold. She is frustrated because her teacher doesn't know she has a disability or understand why she can't just behave like the other children. The letters on the blackboard taunt her as much as the children in class do. Michy finds her own way of learning with the help of her imaginary friend, a Hawaiian Monk seal pup named Sealy.
