Jesse dreams of playing the ukulele. Sadly, the magic is just not happening. She keeps abandoning her practice sessions to play with her friends. They learn to turn flips, write in Hindi, and use chopsticks. It’s not until the ukulele dream is almost forgotten that Jesse discovers new skills are learned through practice, and not just wishful thinking.
