Synopsis:
After glamming up her school friends in Mary Had a Little Glam, lovable Mary returns in MARY HAD A LITTLE PLAN to spruce up a vacant lot in the neighborhood.
Fashion-forward Mary is known for adding flair everywhere she goes. When she spots an abandoned lot in her neighborhood, Mary knows she can use her stylish talent to spruce it up. Soon she’s rallying neighborhood shops and calling on her friends to help, all of whom are modern versions of popular nursery rhyme characters.
With Mary leading the way, this group carries out her little plan that has a big impact on her community!
Mary had a little plan that sprouted on the spot.
It all began the day she passed a drab abandoned lot
