Bold, graphic art by indie rocker Chris Gorman of Belly captures the thrill and challenges of marching to your own beat.
Meet a pogo-dancing, punk-rock-loving kid who loves to express himself in his own unique way. His clothes, hairstyle, music, and just the way he hears the world, all set him apart. Not everyone understands him, but he likes being one of a kind–even though it’s lonely sometimes. Fortunately, it’s a wide world out there, and if he looks around a kid is sure to find other one-of-a-kinds with common interests.

A picture book that celebrates individuality, self acceptance and moving to the beat of your music. This book is about embracing the things that make each of us different, and celebrating those things. Gorman's story telling is mixed with unique illustrations that easily bring the emotions felt on each page to life. This is a book that readers will be able to identify with on their own unique level.
