Angol
A little girl is self-conscious about the birthmark on her forehead until a new friend helps her see it in a whole new light.
This little girl doesnt mind her birthmark, most of the time. She calls it Toto, and her mom calls it a kiss from an angel. But sometimes, it feels like people look so hard at Toto they forget to see her. So when its time to start school, her mom cuts her bangs to cover Toto up, at least for a little while.
At school, she makes a new best friend right away! But then Toto accidentally comes out of hiding. Will her new friend see her differently with Toto in the picture? And does different have to be bad?
Award-winning creator Hyewon Yums knack for the adorable is at full power in Toto. This warm and vulnerable story grapples with the pressure we feel to blend in, and celebrates the momentsand the friendsthat remind us how much better it is to be our full and singular selves.
