Once upon a time, in a wiggly little Texas town, one day a girl was born. A special girl—smart, clever, curious, and full of fun. But, holy puppy on a peach tree! Will you look at that! She’s got a pouch! A better-than-a-backpack, hold things-n-hide things pouch. Meet Marsupial Girl!
Now, when you're a little different, like our Marsupial Girl, people can decide there's something a little scary about you. Not your Mom, of course, or your super best friend, Sue. But other folks. And when people get scared, they can get mean. And when people start talking about you, you want to make them stop. So maybe you steal their voice and put it in your pouch. Uh-oh!
What happens next says a lot about how you can't make all the bad stuff go away just by holding it deep inside. You've got to face it and figure it out.
This story of a very special girl shows us that what is different can most definitely be good. It's a rockin' new musical fable, brimming to the shoopialus pop top with some fine Texas rockabilly music. And a whole mess o' foot stompin', pouch poppin' sounds!
