“I think this will be a very successful children’s story, particularly embracing diversity of all kinds, not just CMN and promoting inclusivity.  Also, the story emphasises the positivity of both parental support and support from the wider community, particularly those with CMN.”

“I love the fact that it has rhyming paragraphs which enable children to learn what is coming next.  The repetition of the support from parents reinforces the positive message throughout the story.  Also, we love the message that her birthmarks make her feel special rather than different and all her friends want to be like her.  This is so important for children with CMN who need support to embrace their differences with positivity and you as a charity do that so well.”
