Each of the four March sisters is special in her own unique way. Meg is a dreamer, Jo is a tomboy, Beth is shy and thoughtful, and Amy is a bundle of energy.

Based on the first chapter of the enduring classic Little Women, this enchanting retelling will introduce a new generation of "little women" to the works of Louisa May Alcott.
