Publisher's Summary

The number-one New York Times best seller written by Criminal Minds actor/director, Matthew Gray Gubler.

This charming and inspiring story is the perfect gift for kids (and grown-up kids) alike!

Rumple Buttercup has five crooked teeth, three strands of hair, green skin, and his left foot is slightly bigger than his right.

He is weird.

Join him and Candy Corn Carl (his imaginary friend made of trash) as they learn the joy of individuality as well as the magic of belonging.

Bought a copy each for my niece and nephew

I came across this book (physical copy) and bought one each for my niece and nephew. Such a great message about loving every little weird thing about yourself and appreciating the differences that everyone you meet brings to the world. I really wanted them to grow up knowing that what makes them different is also what makes them special. I ended up getting a digital copy for myself just as a reminder that us grown up kids need this message every now and then too. It doesn't hurt that the artist's delivery brings so much life to the story.
