People Are Weird
An inquisitive child muses over people’s quirks and distinguishing behaviors, noting potential contradictions in the mix. They consider what “power” entails following a librarian’s maybe unfulfilled dictum about voracious readers; they question a subway rider’s tattoo about impermanence; they marvel at their storytelling uncle’s funny wardrobe; and they think their turtle-walking friend Doug may be the weirdest person of all. Both unselfconcious and not, the child comes to the affirming conclusion that “weird” could be quite ordinary—and wonderful. Bright, busy illustrations with fun, jagged lines add elements for the audience to ponder too.
