In this charming sequel to Wanda and the Frogs, the dynamic author/illustrator team of Barbara Azore and Georgia Graham perform their magic creating another joyful adventure forthe quirky and mischievous Wanda.

Wanda has freckles. Lots and lots of freckles. They make her feel special, until the day in the park when a group of boys point, laugh, and tease her for having spots. All of a sudden, the freckles she’d liked become a problem. What can she do? Wanda decides that there’s only one thing: make her freckles disappear altogether!

At a time when there’s pressure to conform to someone else’s idea of perfection, this playful story has an important message: individuality and self-acceptance are to be celebrated. In this poignant and playful sequel to Wanda and the Wild Hair and Wanda and the Frogs, the ever-resourceful Wanda puts her imagination to work to try to come to peace with those troublesome freckles once and for all.

The critically acclaimed author/illustrator team of Barbara Azore and Georgia Graham bring another Wanda adventure to life with humor and wisdom.

Praise for Wanda's Freckles

""...flamboyant, lively illustrations. Graham uses bright chalk pastels to show Wanda's hair curling energetically off the pages, to caricature the boys with extra-large taunting mouths, and to put a lot of patterning and texture into the backgrounds. Everything in the pictures seems to be in motion."
- School Library Journal

"Georgia Graham's intriguingly ghoulish illustrations of Wanda and her often not-so-friendly friends set a colourful stage for another story about the feisty carrot-top.... Wanda's more-than-liberal sprinkling of freckles is the medium for this tale with a gentle message about self-acceptance, spots and all."
- The Globe and Mail
