A half black, half white toddler girl named Capri suffers from plagiocephaly, where she has a head that's not as round as it should be. Her parents decide to get her a cranial band, or helmet, to help "fix her flat." People are not well educated on why babies and toddlers need cranial helmets and this makes people feel insecure about cranial helmets. Capri shows adults that her cranial helmet makes her a superhero, and this gives her and the adults more confidence.
