Leo always dreamed of exploring the stars. But when he is diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), everyday adventures become harder. With the love of his family, the help of his friends, and a little courage, Leo learns that being fearless doesn't mean doing everything alone-it means keeping hope, dreaming big, and taking one step at a time.
