As the first Polkadot in an all Square school, Lily faces an almost impossible task of gaining acceptance from her peers. From daily bullying, to segregated drinking fountains, Lily’s quest seems hopeless until she meets Sky, a shy Square boy whose curiosity for her unique polka dot skin blooms into an unexpected pal-ship.
Inspired by the events of The Little Rock 9 Polkadots serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts.
