In this lively program, "Wally the Walrus" leads youngsters in song about the joys of being special and different. Using everyday situations that will feel familiar to all children, viewers see that each of us has different talents and abilities and that it's fun and exciting to learn about different cultures and customs. Kids also discover that having a physical challenge to overcome doesn't mean that a person can't do what others can - they just do it in a different way. From "singing" in a talent show using sign language, to enjoying an international lunch that features different foods from different cultures, youngsters develop a respect and appreciation of their differences.

After viewing this program students will:
- Understand that everyone can contribute using their own special talent
- Recognize that sharing different cultures and customs is special
- Realize that people with physical disabilities can do everything - just differently
- Identify the importance of respecting each other's differences
