About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an odd duck or expresses frustration that their interests do not match those of their peers. It is the perfect choice for the creative soul who finds beauty in the unusual, the spooky, or the eccentric. Through the life of artist Edward Gorey, children learn that being 'different' is not a problem to be solved, but a superpower to be cultivated. The story follows Edward from a young age as he carves his own path through the world of art and literature. It gently explores themes of self-confidence and the courage to stay true to one's vision even when others find it strange. For parents, this is a beautiful tool to validate a child's unique personality and encourage them to embrace their quirks. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 9 who are beginning to navigate social belonging and self-expression.
