Lydia Rose has an innocent, but narrow view of how others should look and act. When her classmates don't meet her expectations of how she thinks they should be, she points out their differences to a friend at school.

The teacher, Ms. Daisy Pose, notices this alarming behavior and the discomfort it's causing others and intervenes. In the presence of the entire class, she tells the story of her childhood experiences as someone who was noticeably different from her classmates and how a gentle gesture from one classmate taught her kindness, friendship, and the beauty of uniqueness.
