A book like this one is long overdue. Every parent of a child with a birthmark should consider buying this book." -Dr. Milton Waner, Vascular and Birthmarks Institute of NY "Buddy Booby's Birthmark is the most wonderful children's story I have ever read that explains an initial response not only to a birthmark, but also to any birth defect. While this book raises awareness about vascular birthmarks, it also raises a consciousness about accepting each other for our uniqueness. This book should be in every school in the country and in every doctor's office, as well..it is a gift to every person born with a birthmark." -Linda Rozell-Shannon, President/Founder,Vascular Birthmarks Foundation
