Mara is special, and nothing or nobody will be able to put her down, because her mother has given her the key to rise above any type of criticism: selfsteem, imagination ans spontaneity. To have big ears, to be tall or small, a thin or fat person... even the most insignificant characteristic can be reason for laughing between children. Because of this, it's necessary a book like this, as it shows that those behaviours are reprehensible.
