MTC Kids Jam – Joanie Leeds and the Night Lights

By |

When a seaweed-covered creature washes ashore in the Cape Cod village of Barnacle Bay, the inhabitants fear the worst. Is it a sea monster in their midst? No, it’s a baby as big as a house! The villagers adopt the giant baby, whom they name Stormalong or Stormy, for short. Growing over 24 feet tall, Stormy struggles to fit in and chooses a life aboard a merchant ship to find his place in the world. Meanwhile, a REAL sea monster torments the villagers and only Stormy is big enough to save them all!

La Maleta de Maebelle

By |
