Featuring the same bright illustration as 'Leo the Late Bloomer', this sequel tells of Leo's frustration with little brother Louie, who can't do the things that Leo and his friends do. Leo's parents advise patience; sure enough, one day Louie suddenly "blooms." Louie's change is confusing: has Leo come to appreciate Louie's unique way of doing things or has Louie learned new skills? Either way, the message of patience is clear.
