Into the book
The doctors recommended that I have plastic surgery.
Although my facial deformity didn't pose a health threat, I was worried that my appearance would make it difficult for me to make friends.
I was loved by my mom and dad, I was healthy and happy, but I was still an ugly child.
It wasn't just plain ugly.
He was on a different level from the ugly kids you see everywhere.
A grade, and the ugliest kid among them.
--- p.33
Humans form close relationships with their families.
And build a life with your friends.
When I'm alone, I'm just a piece of me.
Amazing things can only be accomplished when we work together in a group.
But the ticket to enter this crowd is not one's thoughts or feelings.
The ticket is our face.
We identify and recognize others by their faces, and we identify ourselves by their faces.
--- p.36
After spending a year with other children, I noticed that most of them did not have a crooked nose or sunken sides of their face where their eyes were originally.
Other children had legs.
I could have tickled your feet.
And I began to realize that there was something different about the children I often saw at the hospital than ordinary children.
There was a child in a wheelchair at the hospital.
There was also a child with a strange lump on his neck.
I also realized that there are kids like that at school.
There was a child with a cleft upper lip.
There was also a child whose head was as red as fire, but whose skin was as pale as white.
There was a girl who was taller than all the boys in the class.
Some kids are very skinny, while others are very fat.
There was also.
Every single child had something different from others.
There was just something different about me.

Publisher's Review
How to become the proud protagonist of your own face and life!
Even though Robert couldn't run as normally as others, he didn't give up and found a way to run. Even though he couldn't do ordinary exercises like others, he found cool exercises that others couldn't easily do and gave it his all.
Although I have surprised people with my appearance, I have also learned how to make people laugh with my actions, not just my looks.
Here, I received wonderful love and support from my mom, dad, older brother, and older sister, experienced friendships with my friends, experienced the thrill of my first love, and began to fill my life, one by one, with more wonderful and beautiful things than anyone else.
To become a proud and upright 'Robert Hodge' who loves himself and knows how to nurture his own life, even if he is ugly.
And showed it to people.
Just because you have an ugly face or wear prosthetic legs, it doesn't mean you can't live a happy and beautiful life.
Of course, people also came to know what a spirited and talented child Robert was, and what a fun and lovable kid he was.
Because Robert was definitely a child who deserved to be loved.
Robert was facing major surgery that could completely change his face and decided not to undergo any more surgery.
It was a decision to no longer give others the power to choose my face, to embrace this ugly face that made me who I am today, and not to throw it away.
It was a decision that was possible because I knew that my ugly face was also a part of me, and that I was more important than what other people thought.
“Everyone has their own scars.”
Everyone is uglier than they think.
It is also more beautiful than you think.
Everyone has their own scars.
Everyone is ugly, everyone is beautiful, and everyone has scars.
Nothing changes because I am different from others, or because someone is different from me.
It's only natural that I am different from others.
You may be fatter than other people.
You may be uglier than others.
But there is definitely something more beautiful about me than others.
No matter who it is, you can't define a person as not beautiful based on just one thing.
If we could talk about these differences naturally and honestly, without hiding, beating around the bush, or feeling sorry, we would all realize it.
Any difference, any difference is a part of me, something precious that has made me who I am today.
And you will also feel the urge to hug yourself tightly.
