Bookroo's summary

A young guinea fowl, worried about his plain feathers, orders spots through the mail. But each delivery brings unexpected patterns—big, small, striped, even glow-in-the-dark. Will he find the perfect fit? This whimsical tale celebrates the journey to self-discovery and embracing one's individuality.

From the publisher

One bird searches for the perfect print for his plumage in this original story. A young guinea fowl concerned by his lack of spots sends off for some in the mail. When the box arrives, the spots aren’t quite what he was expecting. After trying on big spots, small spots, striped spots, and even glow-in-the-dark spots, he finds a pattern that suits him perfectly in this touching, quirky celebration of individuality.
