Have you ever felt the knot in your stomach when you're afraid to be yourself? Camilla Cream knows this feeling all too well. She's a young girl with a secret passion for lima beans-a food most kids her age despise. As the first day of school approaches, Camilla's anxiety about fitting in reaches a breaking point. Each morning she stares longingly at those lima beans in the refrigerator before firmly shutting the door, reminding herself that liking such an unpopular food would make her a social outcast. Standing before her closet, Camilla agonizes over every outfit choice. "Too bright," she mutters, tossing aside a yellow dress. "Too boring," she sighs, rejecting a plain sweater. Each decision isn't really about the clothes-it's about her desperate need to blend in perfectly with her peers. Her bedroom walls are plastered with magazine cutouts showing the "right" way to look, and she's become a walking focus group, constantly collecting data on what might make her acceptable to others. What makes Camilla's situation so heartbreaking is that her fears aren't irrational. Children can be unforgiving to those who stand out. But in her desperate attempt to be like everyone else, she's created an unsustainable situation where her true self has nowhere to exist.
