Synopsis

Copernicus Worrious thinks he is really sick, so when he's diagnosed with Selfus Esteemus Personalitus Low by Dr. Artemis Pessimist, Dr. Pessimist prescribes a mirror to cure Copernicus of his ailment and uses disguises to help Copernicus learn that the only cure that he needs is the mirror inside!

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Copernicus Worrious has a problem. He believes he has contracted a physical illness that causes him to be less than he should be. He enlists the help of the unconventional Dr. Pessimist. The Doctor prescribes a mirror instead of medicine and sends him off on a silly journey. Along the way, Copernicus meets a few people who teach him that his feelings of worthlessness stem from unfounded emotions. In the end, he discovers that sometimes things that don't match make up a perfect conclusion.
