Soon, Collette notices these new friends are not inviting her to playdates-but it's not because they don't want to invite her.

Based on the real-life experiences of entrepreneur and activist Collette Divitto, "Collette in Kindergarten" shows us how important it is to practice acceptance throughout our lives, just as children do so freely every day.
