Max knows exactly who he is. His room is completely covered in his name, plastered on everything from his cozy blanket to his glowing night light. His parents even call him The One and Only Max. He feels completely unique and ready for anything.
Everything changes during a trip to the local playground. When a parent calls out for Max to go home, two completely different kids come running. Suddenly, The One and Only Max realizes he might not be the only one after all. If there are other Maxes here, there could be millions of Maxes all over the world.
Just when he starts to question what makes him special, he notices another Max needs help finding a lost toy. Stepping up to help his new friend teaches him a valuable lesson. Uniqueness is not just about the name you are given, but the kind and helpful things you choose to do.
