Polka-Dot Face
by Monique Duncan

Nine-year-old Madison has lots of friends and enjoys school. All is well until Frankie, the new kid on the block, calls her polka-dot face. Madison is taken on a roller coaster ride of trial and error as her best friend Imani tries to help her get rid of her spots. Will Imani’s experiments work, or will Madison be a polka-dot face forever?

An inspiring story about a young girl’s journey toward self-acceptance, Polka-Dot Face encourages us to accept ourselves and not let the words of others change how we feel. Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will only hurt you if you let them.
