People Are Weird - Hardcover

by Victor D. O. Santos (Author), Catarina Sobral (Illustrator)

A lighthearted, thought-provoking--and yes, weird!--story about celebrating the different quirks we all have, from award-winning creators Victor D.O. Santos and Catarina Sobral

Have you ever noticed that the world is full of weird people? Anywhere you go, there are those who dress unconventionally, have their own unique fears, pretend to be other people, and generally go about things in their own mysterious ways. In fact, one might even say that we're all a little bit weird in our own little way!

From award-winning picture book creators Victor D.O. Santos and Catarina Sobral, People Are Weird explores the different quirks we humans possess from the perspective of a child living out an average day.

One thing becomes quickly evident: Not only is it normal to be weird, but it might even be weird to be normal . . .
