"The Odd Ones" is a 30-page picture book appropriate for the preschool through kindergarten age group. "The Odd Ones" is a book themed to support children who undergo the common frustration of not fitting into the various "groups" around them. This story uses three animal characters who don't feel they "fit in" with their animal groups: Tuffy is an aggressive turtle who refuses to hide in his shell. Pitter is a contemplative mouse who prefers daydreaming over productive nest-building. Polly is a grown frog who never lost her pollywog tail. The three friends find each other through conflicts which reveal their odd traits, and together they decide to search for a place where they can just be themselves. When they finally reach their dreamland together, the characters realize from their experiences that their oddities are actually their strengths (difference is what makes them special). With new self-confidence, they decide to return back to their homes. The story ends with a poem: "One the other side the grass was greener, but the peace they found inside was sweeter."
