Hurdy Gurdy is a Little Nerdy

By Kimberly A. Horn

Hurdy Gurdy has always been a little different.

He sees friendly spirits where others see only shadows.
He hears soft whispers in the wind.
He notices tiny sparkles no one else seems to spot.

At first, the other children don't understand him. Some even think he's strange.

But when a once-scary old road begins to change, they start to see what Hurdy has always known - sometimes the things that make us different are the very things that make us extraordinary.

With warm illustrations, gentle twilight scenes, and a message that encourages self-acceptance, Hurdy Gurdy Is a Little Nerdy reminds young readers that:

Curiosity is a strengthKindness makes fear smallerBeing different is something to celebrate
