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.
