I'd first heard of this book at a museum exhibit about the Reys. This book was commissioned by the American government after WW2 to be translated in German and distributed in Germany as part of the de-nazification of German children.

Spotty looks different then the rest of his family and this is a story about him looking for acceptance and community. This story is universal and can be applied to an endless number of situations, both for children/adults who are different and others who are confronted by someone not like themselves. This should be on every child's bookshelf.
