In one family, everybody has a thing.
Some things are silly. Some things are tricky. Some things you can see, and some things you can't. From the youngest grandchild to the bald grandfather who insists he has no thing at all (he is mistaken), every person at the table is carrying something that makes them who they are.
Everybody Has a Thing is a warm, funny picture book about a multigenerational family who love each other exactly as they are. It is also a gentle, honest story for children with Tourette syndrome, tics, ADHD, autism, anxiety, asthma, and any of the small or large things that make a person different.
Written by a physician and grandfather, this is a book about a quiet, ordinary kind of love. The kind that doesn't try to fix anyone. The kind that has room for everybody.
Perfect for classroom libraries, pediatric waiting rooms, school counselors, neurodivergent families, and grandparents looking for a meaningful gift.
