Mom's Review
I just love wraparound book jacket images and need to point out the one on Toto.
The story in Toto is about a little girl whit mixed feelings about people seeing her birthmark. When she makes a new best friend on her first day of school, she is afraid the other girl might not like the mark she calls Toto. The other girl does indeed notice the mark, but thinks it's cool. Toto gently encourages us to acknowledge and celebrate differences, not fear them. Toto is lovely in every way.
