Sometimes Cows Wear Polka Dots: A Tolerance Story

By Shoshana Stopek and Román Diaz

Millie isn’t like the other cows. The other cows make milk. Millie makes milkshakes. The other cows meander. Millie sashays. The other cows wear spots. Millie wears polka dots. Despite being teased, Millie continues to be herself. When her actions earn the attention and respect of the other farm animals, the cows start to wonder if they should be more tolerant of Mille’s uniqueness. Can Millie’s sparkle help others learn to celebrate differences so everyone can shine?
