From the back cover

At the preschool recital, Todd's mother orders him to hand over the blue cadet uniform his father had custom-made for him, so that Sammy, a motherless boy and today's soloist, can wear it instead. When Todd protests, she rips the Velcro open and dresses Sammy herself, leaving Todd in an oversized spare shirt at the back of the choir while she photographs Sammy's performance.

Todd falls on stage and scrapes his palm, but his mother never notices. His father, David, arrives to find Todd hurt and stripped of his suit, and confronts Rebecca in front of the other parents. She insists Sammy needed to look presentable and calls Todd mature enough to understand, while Sammy clings to her and refuses to give the uniform back.

This is not the first time she has given Todd's things away, and Todd tells his father he no longer wants anything his mother buys him.
