Description

A shy girl spends a special day with her grandfather discovering the action superhero inside her in a vivid celebration of imagination and play.

Jasmine prefers to blend in with the background. She peeks while others play and hides behind her big glasses. But when her grandpa reads stories to her at night, she dreams of adventure, and a new character—Action Jasmine—comes alive in her art.

Action Jasmine isn't scared, Action Jasmine is brave and saves the day. When her grandpa challenges her to join him on an adventure in the park, Jasmine is petrified (code for "super scared")—that is, until she remembers they can go incognito (code for "so sneaky, no one even knows who you are").

But when Jasmine spies a boy playing by himself, can she find the courage to break out of her shell, start some action, and make a new friend?
