We All Have Spots

M. J. McDonald

Logan is a young leopard that wakes
up late, and the rest of his herd is gone. He
wants to set out to find them on his own, but he
doesn’t know where to look, so he just heads off
to see who he can find. He is drawn to animals
with spots like him. First, he found cows, then
bunnies and birds. Over and over, Logan found more
animals with spots, but none were like him.
Eventually, he does find his family. But the
events of his day stay with him. He thinks about
how everyone is different, but in the end, he
decides what matters is how they are all the same.
We All Have Spots is a beautifully written story
about acceptance of others and friendship.
