A girl always want to fit in. She does what the reset of the crowd does. She secretly likes lima beans, but never eats them because her friends don't like them. One day she wakes up with stripes. After her doctor determines she has no other symptoms, she is allowed to go to school. There things get worse. Her stripes morph to other designs as kids make suggestions. At home other "cures" just make things worse. Her appearance changes to whatever others suggest. Finally, a little old lady cures her by giving her some lima beans. After that, she feels free to be more like herself and not always follow the crowd. The illustrations are great in this book about fitting in.
