Meet Maud, a guinea pig that wears a judo outfit for no apparent reason - and not everyone understands or likes. When Maud is thrust into an unfamiliar and perplexing position, it takes daring actions and fortuitous encounters for her to discover her place and accept her uniqueness. Magenta Fox's endearing characters, reminiscent of Raymond Briggs and Janet Ahlberg, brilliantly complement Zadie and Nick's warm, witty prose. Weirdo is an appealing story about the quiet power of being different written by two professional writers and an intriguing debut illustrator. They collaborated to create a picture book that both adults and children will treasure.
