Discovering one's purpose is a big adventure for any child. Baby Gardenia's journey begins with a simple pair of eyeglasses that magically transform her life, opening her eyes to see the world in a new light.

As she takes you through the subtropical woodlands of South Africa, Baby Gardenia shares her love for her home-full of grassy plains, tall shrubs, and majestic baobab tree.

With a heart full of joy and an adventurous spirit, she heads to the Wide-Eyed Academy at night-a unique school designed for rhino calves like her who face challenges with eyesight. There, she sits up front, navigating her blurry world with the help of her best friend, Oxill, the red-billed Oxpecker.

One evening, on her way home from night school, Baby Gardenia stumbles upon scraps of glass near the village. With a brilliant idea in mind, she decided to craft glasses that could enhance her vision. With creativity and determination, she molds her unique eyewear, transforming her world into a breathtaking spectacle of beauty with vivid colors and joy.

However, these glasses go beyond aiding her-they become a tool to help others when she rescues a distressed tortoise named Sula, showcasing the power of kindness and empathy.
