Didi the Wolf and the Starry Tattoos

Children's book by Dahlia Miriam Gaine, Caring Matters Now

Empathy, kindness, belonging. The book encourages meaningful conversations about inclusion and acceptance.

This children’s story book, created by the UK charity Caring Matters Now, provides a powerful tool for families, educators, and caregivers to open up meaningful conversations about CMN. Didi is a young girl born with Congenital Melanocytic Naevus (CMN), a rare skin condition that takes the form of large, dark, and often hairy birthmarks. Through her journey, Didi learns that her uniqueness is her strength and discovers she truly belongs. The story invites reflection, empathy, and belonging for children and adults alike.

  • Uniqueness is our superpower. The story celebrates what makes each of us different.
  • Visible differences deserve celebration, not shame or hiding.
