Toto

商品描述

每一個特別的印記，都是讓我們閃閃發光的理由。

有個小女孩，額頭上有一個特別的胎記，她給它取名叫「Toto」。媽媽說，那是天使的吻。大部分的時候，小女孩覺得 Toto 很可愛，但有時候，她卻覺得大家都盯著 Toto，看不到真正的自己。

開學那天，媽媽幫她留了瀏海，把 Toto 藏起來。沒想到在學校，她很快就交到了一個最好的朋友！可是——Toto 有一天不小心跑出來了。朋友會不會因為 Toto 而改變看法呢？還是……「不一樣」其實一點也不可怕？

由得獎作者 Hyewon Yum 帶來的《Toto》，是一個溫柔又真摯的故事，陪孩子面對「想融入卻又想做自己」的矛盾心情。它提醒我們：最美好的自己，就是完整而獨特的自己。

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 doesn’t 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 it’s 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 Yum’s 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 moments—and the friends—that remind us how much better it is to be our full and singular selves.
