About the Book
"William is a weirdo. We're all a little bit weird, and that's not hing to be feared. In the end, weirdos win, because there's power in not fitting in"--Book Synopsis
WILLIAM IS A WEIRDO is, above all else, a story about the triumph of being oneself. After all, being ourselves is perhaps the hardest thing that any of us will ever have to do.
This joyful, rhythmic picture book takes us through William's first day of school, as he comes to realize that he does things differently than the rest of his classmates. By the end of the day, William is feeling a little defeated by his differences, but that's when he meets up with a character who's short in stature but large in wisdom. After their conversation, William comes to realize that being a "weirdo" is what makes him an individual, and all the weird things that he likes to do are exactly what make him, well, William.
Although it might be hard at times-in the end, weirdos win--because there's power in not fitting in.
Review Quotes
I bought this book as a gift for my grandson. He has ADHD and often is left out. The message of "be who you are, not who you are not" resonated with him. He particularly liked that William has a squid. The book is well written, the illustrations are bold and colorful. It's worth the $$ and a look!
I get my son a book every Christmas, carefully selected with a message that will help him help the world as he grows (9). We read this book last night finally and he said "mom, sometimes I feel a lil weird, but not in a bad way. Maybe it's just my own way?!" You got it kid! The Captain delivered just the right message to cast wind to my kids sails. Thank you! Love it!
My 4yr old son and I were super excited the day this book came to our door! It has become a nightly staple in this house, and I couldn't be happier. It has such a lovely message for youngins. Add this to your library!
