The Contrary Kid

Meet the Contrary Kid. He knows that pizza is fashionable when worn on the head and that blueberries make a fine bread. He associates with a snake and a frog, and sometimes a gorilla. Broccoli ice cream is his favourite dinner, and his colouring book hangs in the Louvre. Most of all, he understands that it' much more fin to break away from the pack than to just follow along. In this original off beat story, author Matt Cibula and illustrator Brian Strassburg have painted funky, bluesy rhymes and rhythms with bold, wacky images. The result in The Contrary Kid: a fun-affirming book that will enchant readers of all ages.
