At school, Harrison notices some classmates aren’t being treated fairly during a game of kickball, sparking a desire to make things right. Harrison sees that some students are always picked last for team sports because they aren’t as fast or strong. Feeling that this isn’t fair, Harrison decides to speak up but is ignored by the other kids, which makes Harrison more determined to change things. Harrison comes up with a plan to make games more inclusive. They talk to their teacher, Mrs. Lee, about organizing a school event that focuses on teamwork and fairness, not just winning. Mrs. Lee loves the idea and helps set it in motion. The day of the event arrives, and not everything goes as planned. Some kids still want to play the old way, which leads to arguments.
