⭐ Meet Booper and Friends! ⭐

Welcome to the world of Booper the Robot and his awesome human pals! Booper’s still learning how to be a great friend—sometimes he forgets to say “sorry,” listen, or share—but his heart (and circuits!) are in the right place.

🤖 Booper

A curious, lovable robot with glowing yellow eyes, a wiggly antenna, and a LOT to learn about being a friend. Booper loves rockets, hover balls, and 3-D chocolate printers… but sometimes he forgets to play fair. Good thing he has friends who help him grow!

👦 Leo

Leo is brave, kind, and sometimes a little sensitive. He’s great at building things and always tries to include everyone. Even when Booper messes up, Leo gives him another chance.

👧 Ava

Ava is creative and calm. She’s the one who helps Booper focus when his circuits go haywire. She loves drawing, flying kites, and helping others express their feelings.

👧 Mia

Mia is quick, funny, and full of energy! She always tells it like it is—but also has a big heart. She shows Booper how to be a good teammate, even when he’s acting up.

🌈 Join Booper, Leo, Ava, and Mia as they explore friendship, feelings, and fun!
