Description
Some kids hurt because they feel like 'The Weird One', but we all have quirks that make us different! Quirks can be big or small, from how we look, speak, and live life, to medical conditions.
You've Got Quirks tells the true stories of people who were 'different' as children. Other kids and some adults didn't understand them and teased them.
At the time, our quirky heroes felt embarrassed and powerless, but living with quirks taught them the valuable lessons they now share with you.
Through reading these inspiring stories, children learn to embrace special differences in themselves and others, too.
Discussion topics at the back of the book create meaningful conversations between children and adults, such as how to respond to the 'quirks' of others, or when teased about your own.

Great book to teach kids about the differences in people. Also helpful for kids with quirks to realize that they aren’t alone. My son has a stutter and really enjoyed this book. The inclusion is excellent
Briana G, Reviewer
We love this book! Inclusive is incredibly important!
My seven year old son is Autistic and this year has been harder for him. He had felt like he doesn't fit in with his classmates at times.
This book was very empowering for him. He also loved learning about other peoples "special quirks".
The artwork in this book is beautifully done, it is so colorful & playful.
I highly recommend this book - definitely for school age children!
Dawn C, Educator
What a wonderful book to add to any classroom and not just at the elementary level.
This book shares stories of real people who have differences that make them unique. It reminds us that these differences shouldn't stop anyone from reaching for their dreams. You can be successful no matter what your "quirks" are.
Thank you to NetGalley and Black Rose Writing for the advance copy for review.
Destiny L, Educator
This was a great book with many examples
of kids that had quirks and how they turned out as adults. It has a nice message of acceptance and that we all are different, but special.
Shilo Q, Reviewer
This book does a great job showing how there are all kinds of differences - "quirks" - that can get people picked on, and how none of those differences really matters in the end. I really like that it shows real people with these various quirks and shows both how they were picked on as kids and how they grew up to rise above it and embrace their quirks as part of themselves.
I would hope that it would inspire kids to be a little kinder to those with differences and to be more understanding and also to embrace their own quirks. I think it would be great for classrooms and libraries, and I will be reading it to my own third grader to hopefully help them develop empathy for those around them and also for their own quirks.
