The Floating Baby: Bored No More!
Lonely and bored without his family around to fuss over him, he was unhappy and listless, not knowing what to do by himself. It was Baby King and his friends that helped the Floating Baby overcome his sense of helplessness, learn to be resourceful, and discover interesting ways to entertain himself and be happy even when left alone.

Instead of fussing, fretting, and feeling bored when left alone, the Floating Baby learned that he had a choice. He chose to be comfortable and happy and have fun. All it takes is a change of perspective and an appreciation of what is around him.

Find out how Baby King and Fitti’s timely reminders helped him regain his self-esteem.

With the help of Baby King and Fitti, Mr Merlion discovers that being happy and confident is about accepting one’s identity. He learned to overcome rejection and unkind treatment by changing his perspective and knowing that he does not have to accept unsolicited criticism.
