Shady Baby has spent her morning being fabulous. Now she's ready for some relaxing playtime at the park. But when she arrives, she discovers kids being mean to others. Shady Baby knows exactly what to do. She gives the bullies her signature look, that famous side eye that stops trouble in its tracks. She shows them that playing nice works better than being mean. The bullies learn their lesson, but then something unexpected happens. Someone hurts Shady Baby's own feelings. Will any of the other kids come to help her? Will they stand up for her the way she stood up for others?
