Hugo the Hippo
The biggest voice on the hill
Hugo sings to the sunshine, and always makes room in his song for someone else.
What Hugo brings
Confidence that makes room
Hugo has a huge voice but does not need to be the only voice. He models expressive confidence and how to invite someone quieter in.
