What’s the matter with Leo?" his father asks, when Leo can’t read, write, draw, eat neatly or speak. "He’s just a late bloomer", explains his mother. And sure enough, one day in his own good time, Leo shows everyone how glorious it is to finally bloom. Narrated by Mary Beth Hurt. A Co-Production of P.A.T. Productions and Weston Woods.
