ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An uplifting picture book celebrating neurodiversity, starring characters from Lynda Mullaly Hunt's New York Times bestselling middle grade novel Fish in a Tree.

Oliver’s brain is a volcano of ideas—always bubbling with questions. This makes it hard to focus at school, and sometimes he worries he won’t ever fit in there. So it’s a good thing he has a friend who reminds him that great minds don’t think alike. And that a brain that blazes with curiosity and imagination is a glorious thing. Featuring characters from the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree and artwork showcasing all the wonderful things going on in Oliver’s astonishing brain, this uplifting book celebrates out-of-the box thinking, the power of creativity, and the importance of being proud of the things that set us apart.
Lynda Mullaly Hunt enseñó en tercer y sexto grado durante casi diez años. También forma parte del grupo Future Problem Solvers Screnario Writing. Aunque actuamente escribe a tiempo completo, extraña dar clases. Lynda vive en Nueva Inglaterra con su esposo y sus dos hijos.

Nancy Carpenter ha ilustrado sesenta libros para niños, entre ellos el ganador de la Medalla de Honor Sibert, Pamplinas, de Michelle Markel, y Carta a mi maestra, de Deborah Hopkinson. Ha recibido dos Premios Christopher y el Premio Jane Addams al Libro para Niños. Vive en Brooklyn, Nueva York.
