A new HBO Family special called Happy to be Nappy celebrates a world of diversity from the perspective of children. Brown’s atmospheric but docile watercolors often view the matryoshka dolls from a distance, furthering the sense that the story is about events surrounding the dolls, instead of the dolls themselves. In the meantime, a young girl who has bought the rest of the set on sale charmingly tucks a little wad of cotton into the next-to-smallest doll so she won’t feel empty. It is an odyssey in which she has absolutely no active part, nor does she have reactions, for all she possesses is a blank matryoshka face. The outer doll, Anna, has been instructed by the maker to watch over her siblings-“Keep your sisters safe inside you”-but there is nothing she can do when the smallest doll, Nina, is accidentally brushed off the counter and unceremoniously kicked out the door. A set of the nesting dolls is carved in a Russian village and then sent to a toy shop in America.

Dunross' title is tai-pan, which is Cantonese, we are told, for "supreme leader." Brosnan is first-rate.

Eric Bercovici's script, smartly done, keeps a tantalizing if not precisely lovable assortment of characters in provocative disarray.
