(4) 4-6 Though her father is in jail and her mother lost her job, Sunny (Sunny Holiday) remains positive. As junior deputy mayor of her town, Sunny works to create a new holiday, Kid's Day, and makes sure the concerns of her neighbors and her school get heard. Sunny's likability helps overcome the meager plot and heavy-handed message of optimism even in bleak circumstances.
