As she journeys through Markertown she meets a group of motley markers that not only save the day but accepts her, lost cap and all.Markertown is a story that commends kindness and friendship. It touches on the theme that we are not defined by our appearance or how others perceive us. We are the sum of the words and actions we put out into the world.
