Leaf is a cutie. I think one of the best parts about Spelling Bee is that each kid's problems are very real but aren't taken to this massive soap opera-y extreme that takes away from the sweetness and approachability of their plights. Other than maybe Olive. She's a bit of the odd man out. I think so many of us, as children as adults feel these insecurities that aren't LIFE ENDING, but are really important. A lot of the songs in the show just feel so pleasant and fun be real in terms of the pressure we feel in relating to the world, society, family, friends etc. And I think that's why the comedic verses are totally okay with me, I like that they keep it light, while still hitting you right in the heart.
