Description[]

In this fun and action-packed series, Hello Kitty stars as the friendliest face in Cherry Town—a small-town hero who will stop at nothing to help a friend in need and get them smiling. Whether she's helping someone overcome a fear, share with a friend, or find the confidence to try something new, Kitty uses sprinkles of kindness, oodles of heart, and a dose of bow power! Her bow wiggles, glitters, and glows when a friend is in need, activating an amazing transformation that changes her costume to be a brave explorer, a cunning detective, a top-notch chef, high-jumping athlete, sensational pop star, or any of a number of personas, to help her tackle the challenge ahead. She's a super friend with super style that accentuates her confidence and determination to help her friends overcome obstacles and bring the tight-knit community of Cherry Town even closer together.
