In this beautifully illustrated children's story, a young cheetah feels different from his siblings—his fur has one bright blue spot instead of all brown. Feeling left out and unsure of where he belongs, he’s soon guided by a wise and adventurous mouse who shows him that being different is something to celebrate. As they travel across the African landscape (and briefly beyond), they meet animals with all kinds of distinctive features—each one uniquely adapted to their home and life. With vibrant, expressive artwork and an engaging narrative this story gently teaches children that our differences make us stronger, more beautiful, and more connected.
