Friends need to play what Annie chooses so that she can feel calm and in control. Orders and patterns often keep Annie from feeling overwhelmed, angry or sad. But what happens when life doesn't work out in the way that she plans? Join Annie as she listens to the story of Dave the turtle who builds an out of control, rule loving robot. Discover with Annie how rules and rigidity can have their own price to pay and celebrate with her as she learns that there is more than one way to be okay
