Synopsis

In today's world, there are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's the way you speak, or your fun take on fashion. Maybe it's your unique family life, or something as silly as your hair or the food you eat. But the reality is, we don't all look the same, wear similar clothes, or even speak the same language. Yet somehow, now more than ever, we are made to feel as if we should be comparing ourselves to the people around us. And when someone does not fit the societal norm, they are made to feel outcast or weird. In this energetic and colorful book full of cultural and generational diversity, we help children look past what they see on the outside and to accept those around them by embracing the weird! 

About this title

About the Author

Before Kristen Heath, author of We're All Weird! began writing this book, she was reminded of the challenges our youth face when her young niece started getting teased at school. She realized how every generation faces a level of social discomfort and how it is progressively getting worse. Growing up in Colorado, she recalls not always fitting in due to her small stature and quirky personality. When her peers criticized her, she was able to rise above the scrutiny through positive reinforcement from her family and genuine friendships. For her it wasn't about a desire to fit in, but rather to be around the people who accepted and loved her for who she was. That same attitude has been a driving force throughout her life, always maintaining a cheerful and unique perspective on the world. She began traveling abroad in 2014, and has currently backpacked almost 20 countries alone. She discovered her passion for writing while documenting her journeys, and she has written several short poetry books. The lyrical rhythm and playfulness of her poetry is still displayed in her current work. As Kristen releases her first published book, her main goal in this journey is to help the young generations in turning their imagination, hopes, and dreams into endless possibilities, while encouraging kindness, self-esteem and purpose.
