Based on the author's own childhood experience, this clever and heartfelt picture book follows a young girl who wants to bring discussion of her disability into the open, exploring themes of acknowledging and celebrating differences.Mazie wears an eyepatch and a head scarf, and on her first day at a new school she's prepared for her classmates to wonder why. And they do, but no one talks to her about it. Instead, wild rumors fly around the classroom that she's a pirate or a dragon burned off her hair! Mazie doesn't mind explaining her disability, but can she find the courage to tell the other kids to just ask her?
