“Dress for success” is good advice that the Emperor takes wholeheartedly, wanting to impress new friends. But where to stop? When the clothes (and other people’s opinions) become more important than the people of the kingdom, trouble brews. To help their beloved Emperor find their way back to their heart, true friends create an elaborate “birthday suit” for the Emperor to wear for their birthday parade celebration. The Emperor quickly and humbly learns that sometimes “less is more!”
