Petunia was born with a deformity and has always felt excluded from friends because of how she looked. Now it is time for her to go to school for the first time, and she is terrified to be seen in public amongst her peers. Just as expected, she is met at school with name-calling and bullying from students in her class. Petunia is close to giving up hope when an unsuspected new friend comes along who sees past her outward appearance and pushes her to be the best hamster she can be! Una Un¿a Petunia is a story of hope for those who feel excluded. It is a book of encouragement for those who seek out to befriend those who may feel like an outcast. Sometimes, even as adults, we can learn something from a hamster and a bunny.
