Overview

Polly is miserably self-conscious about something . . . she was born a POSSUM! No one seems to like possums--what other animal eats trash and plays dead? Polly is ashamed of who she was born to be. Luckily, her mom helps her realize all the awesome things that possums can do and explains to Polly that self-love comes from within. Polly the Possum celebrates self-acceptance and is a beautiful reminder that the things which make us unique are to be celebrated, and no matter who we are, each of us has the ability to make a difference in our world.
