Review Quotes

"A charming story for younger readers that makes clear in a clever way that there really isn't such a thing as "normal," this choice is lovely." --Kendal Rautzhan, Books to Borrow, Books to Buy; nationally syndicated newspaper column.

"Elephant is blue, animals move on two legs and talk to one another, and Zebra has removable stripes--all of which underlines the text's implied messages that normality is highly relative and it is not a good idea to ridicule those who are different." -- Booklist

"THAT'S NOT NORMAL has a some terrific messages while also being a fun story. I especially enjoyed the whimsical illustrations. Isn't the elephant on the cover absolutely adorable?....focuses on self-confidence and diversity by showing that being different is a strength, not a weakness. However, I also love how it teaches children about kindness." -- Booking Mama

I enjoyed the book's colorful illustrations, and I am sure a young reader would as well. This book shows that sometimes things seen as abnormal or strange can be helpful and not something to be judged and ridiculed. - Kids' Book Buzz


Kids receive a fun story of normalcy and kindness. --Midwest Book Review
