About the Book
Jillian’s story is one of confidence and self-love, proving that our differences make us special.
Jillian Scott is a fun-loving young girl who is excited about her big day – the school track meet. Jillian’s joy soon turns to sadness when other children tease her about the noticeable birthmark on her leg. The same birthmark that her parents had always told her made her special, suddenly became the source of her self-doubt, fear and hurt feelings. After reassurance from her mom, Jillian regains her confidence and proves to everyone that being different is a special blessing that makes her unique. In fact, Jillian’s birthmark is a visible sign that she was kissed by God!
