An edition of Buddy Booby's Birthmark (2007)

Buddy Booby's Birthmark

AS SEEN ON CNN, The CBS Early Show, and NBC-TV. The first children s book of its kind created by a child with a facial port wine stain; based on real-life experiences. Buddy Booby's Birthmark features an inspirational foreword by Hannah Storm, award winning television journalist, author, and popular ESPN sports caster. Join a colorful cast of Galapagos Island creatures as they learn some valuable life lessons about tolerance, self-acceptance, sensitivity, and perfection, from a most unlikely character--a red-footed booby bird with a birthmark. When a magical Galapagos sea hawk grants the booby bird a wish, everyone is sure he will want his birthmark removed. But will he? Would YOU? Readers might be surprised! This creative story also teaches readers about the Galapagos Islands and its unique animal inhabitants! A portion of the profits from this book will go to The Vascular Birthmarks Foundation (www.birthmark.org).

Book Details


First Sentence

"On a remote island of the Galapagos, one misty fourth of July, Isabela, a red-footed booby, let out a glorious cry!"

Edition Notes

"Parents will enjoy the book as much as children...Rich illustrations by Mike Motz give an almost 3-D effect to the animated cast of characters. In addition to the story itself, the book offers little-known animal facts, a description of real-life endangered species unique to Galapagos and an animal search--one of which is quite a challenge...Entertainment for children, easily read by adults, education for all, the work (Buddy Booby's Birthmark) will be a stand-out in any children's book collection."- --Richard Walker/Times and Democrat Book Review

"A colorful, thought-provoking story about self-acceptance and sensitivity to others' appearances...heartwarming. Concisely and honestly written, "Buddy Booby's Birthmark" addresses the realities of looking differently from others on several planes. This book will open up many valuable discussions between adults and children in houses where a birthmark - or any physical difference - is an issue. --Stephanie Cale; Birthmarks.com review

"This book is incredible... a wonderful resource for children and their parents. For children, it emphasizes the importance of gaining acceptance. For parents, it's a great aid in explaining and demonstrating how to help their child to know that their personality is their most important gift to others. A book like this is long overdue. Every parent of a child with a birthmark should consider buying this book." --Dr. Milton Waner, Vascular and Birthmarks Institute of New York
