This uplifting story of a wingless little mosquito from Manitoba has all the whimsy and wise humour any audience of any age could ask for. Mary Jane is a girl mosquito born without wings who finds her voice through song and learns to make friends by communicating directly with her audience. Mary Jane’s disability may seem overwhelming, but this young mosquito has a dream – she perseveres and lives to fulfill her dream as an entertainer beloved by audiences everywhere.
The ageless theme of a misfit, as told by Mary Jane in English with French and Cree words and phrases, is a timely treat for anyone who has felt like an outsider, dealt with bullying, moved to a new place, or was different from the rest of the pack.
