The Weird and Wonderful Me

Beschreibung

Being called weird can feel lonely-especially when it comes from your own family. But history shows us something powerful: Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Tesla, and Galileo were all called "weird" long before the world celebrated their genius. In this uplifting rhyming picture book, award-winning author Marcy Schaaf encourages children to embrace their uniqueness, trust their creativity, and remember that "weird is wonderful." With vibrant illustrations and an empowering message, The Weird and Wonderful Me teaches kids that:Being different is not wrong-it's their greatest strength. Not everyone deserves the privilege of their innermost thoughts. Well-behaved people rarely make history. Perfect for readers who feel out of place, this book celebrates courage, individuality, and the power of standing tall in your own story. Because the world doesn't need more boring- it needs the weird and wonderful YOU.

Autor

Marcy Schaaf is a children's author and professional boat captain whose work is shaped by two steady currents: stories and the sea. On the page, she crafts warm, musical picture books that help young readers feel brave, curious, and cozy at bedtime. On the water, she skippers a 50-foot catamaran in Grenada, charting real routes, reading real weather, and welcoming families aboard. That dual life-pen in one hand, helm in the other-fuels Marcy's storytelling voice. She loves turning charts into journeys, ports into characters, and little travel treasures into story sparks. Her books blend geography, gentle humor, and heart, with repeating lines that invite read-alouds and sing-alongs. Marcy visits libraries and classrooms, shares sea safety tips with kids, and advocates for caring for our oceans-one small habit at a time. Whether at anchor or at her writing table, she believes the best voyages are equal parts wonder, kindness, and good company.
