About This Book

The book introduces a series of animals, showcasing their remarkable abilities alongside the funny or practical things they simply aren't built for. Through simple text and playful illustrations, it builds a foundation for self-confidence and identity. It is an ideal choice for the preschool years, helping children understand that being different is not just okay, it is the way the world is designed.
