A Head Full of Birds

Booktalk: When the other kids mock her at recess, Nanette doesn’t listen. She’d rather focus on puddles, spider webs, and whatever she can create with her hands. One day a boy named Noah–who’d rather fly paper airplanes than listen to the lesson–starts sitting at Nanette’s table. At first, Noah finds Nanette confusing and a little frustrating. But her ideas look like so much fun. . . A story of neurodiverse friendships

Snippet: The next day at recess, the rain is pouring down.
Nanette walks into the middle of the schoolyard.
Then she stands there, not moving, her palms facing the clouds.
Noah’s friends point at her:
“She’s so stupid! She’s so stupid!”

As trick-or-treating looms, they must think outside the box to find the perfect costume–something that will allow them to present as one hundred percent Charly.
