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-thebox thinking, the power of creativity, and the importance of being proud of the things that set us apart.

Lynda Mullaly Hunt is the author of New York Times bestseller Fish in a Tree, as well as One for the Murphys, which is on thirty-one state award lists. She's a former teacher, and holds writers retreats for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She lives in Connecticut with her husband, two children, impetuous beagle, and beagle-loathing cat. View titles by Lynda Mullaly Hunt
