Who Needs Spots Anyway‪?‬

A story to build self-esteem in children, "Who Needs Spots Anyway?" is a story about a ladybug and her mother. Catie is a little ladybug who realizes when she starts school that she's different from the other ladybugs: she doesn't have any spots. Catie slowly begins to build her self-esteem with the help of her mother and a beautiful thing happens to her. This story teaches children that everyone is different and that's a wonderful thing. How boring would life be if everyone were the same?

This story was inspired by my daughter's trials and tribulations in elementary school when she felt "different" from everyone else because she didn't have a father. Rather than writing a children's story about the loss of a parent, I chose to create a brightly colorful book to help young children who are feeling different for any sort of reason in the hopes of helping build their self-esteem.

This book is also available in hard copy through Etsy and I will be happy to personalize your book upon request.
