Wanda has freckles. Lots and lots of freckles. They make her feel<br />
special, until the day in the park when a group of boys point,<br />
laugh, and tease her for having spots. All of a sudden, the<br />
freckles she’d liked become a problem. What can she do? Wanda<br />
decides that there’s only one thing: make her freckles disappear<br />
altogether!<br />
At a time when there’s pressure to conform to someone else’s<br />
idea of perfection, this playful story has an important message:<br />
individuality and self-acceptance are to be celebrated. In this<br />
poignant and playful sequel to Wanda and the Wild Hair and Wanda and<br />
the Frogs, the ever-resourceful Wanda puts her imagination to work<br />
to try to come to peace with those troublesome freckles once and<br />
for all.<br />
The critically acclaimed author/illustrator team of Barbara<br />
Azore and Georgia Graham bring another Wanda adventure to<br />
life with humor and wisdom.<br />

by Barbara Azore. Georgia Graham lives on a tree farm in central<br />
