Synopsis
Don, a 10-year-old orphan, is often underestimated because he has a large body. Don has a storybook inherited from his parents, which is full of illustrations and magical stories. The book is not only a souvenir, but also a source of inspiration and escape for Don from a world that feels unfriendly because he is often underestimated by his friends. Don tries to prove his ability by joining a talent show, where he plans to perform a stage play inspired by a storybook his parents left him, but a friend steals the book, leaving him in despair. Luckily, Don always has the support of his Grandma and his friends, Nurman and Mae. In the midst of despair, Don meets Meri (a mysterious little fairy) who asks for his help in finding her parents. He then tries to get back the book he inherited.
