Xinwen Tan
Sam and Dodo
Some toys squeak, some roll — and some save the day. Sam has all the toys a pup could dream of. But nothing prepares him for Dodo — a new dog with shiny wheels instead of back legs.
A room full of toys.
A new friend with shiny wheels.
Not every story runs on four legs —
some roll quietly…
and shine when it matters most.
Sam and Dodo shows that being different doesn’t mean less — sometimes, it means more.
