You Might Be Special!
Written by Kerri Kokias; Illustrated by Marcus Cutler
A funny interactive “quiz” identifies the most special creature of all — you!
Do you ever feel like you’re different from everyone else? Like there’s no one
quite like you? Then you might be special! Take this quiz to find out!
This playful “quiz” first asks conventional Yes! questions, like: “Do you like
to stay up late? Are you sometimes wild and crazy?” Then, “Do people run
away when they see your furry face and pointy teeth?” No? Then you’re not
a werewolf! This pattern repeats for several fantastical creatures — unicorns,
dragons, mermaids — until finally children are reassured: they are special,
“because you’re YOU!”
A one-of-a-kind book for every one-of-a-kind kid!
