A lighthearted, thought-provoking—and yes, weird!—story about celebrating the different quirks we all have, from award-winning creators Victor D.O. Santos and Catarina Sobral.

Have you ever noticed that the world is full of weird people? Anywhere you go, there are those who dress unconventionally, have their own unique fears, pretend to be other people, and generally go about things in their own mysterious ways. In fact, one might even say that we’re all a little bit weird in our own little way!

From award-winning picture book creators Victor D.O. Santos and Catarina Sobral, People Are Weird explores the different quirks we humans possess from the perspective of a child living out an average day. One thing becomes quickly evident: Not only is it normal to be weird, but it might even be weird to be normal...

About the Author

Victor D.O. Santos is a Brazilian American author and professional linguist who penned and self-published his first picture book as a gift to his son in 2020. After his eighth self-published effort My Dad, My Rock locked down a Kirkus Star and a spot on Kirkus’ Best Books of 2022 list, he began drawing the attention of publishers worldwide. Today, he is best known for the internationally acclaimed picture book What Makes Us Human, selected to the prestigious White Ravens 2023 catalog and a special exhibition at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, and translated into 30 languages. Catarina Sobral is an internationally acclaimed Portuguese author-illustrator who also dabbles in film, theater, and radio. A graduate of graphic design with a masters in illustration, her accolades include—among other things—the International Award for Illustration at the 2014 Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the 2023 Portuguese National Illustration Award, and three selections to the prestigious White Ravens catalog (2013, 2014, and 2024). She lives in Lisbon with her two cats, Mooncake and Egas.
