When You Feel Like a Polka-dot Elephant: A Story About Being Different

by G. Baxter-Dayne

Inspired by "The Island of Misfit Toys", this book is a sweet lighthearted story that is driven by both illustration and words. It's written for early grade children, and applies to boys and girls of all races. It's for any child who has ever felt a little different around the other kids. Children can feel out of place, or be bullied, for many reasons. It can be because they wear glasses or have braces, or perhaps they're shy, or shorter than most or not looked upon as thin. Children are often teased if they're a mixed race, or speak a different language, or have two mothers or two fathers. It doesn't matter why a child may feel out of place, because this book shows them they're not alone, and it's okay. It also shows them that whatever it is that makes them feel different is also what makes them very special.
