Synopsis
What is "normal?" That's the question an eager young scientist, narrating her very first book, hopes to answer. Unfortunately, her exceedingly "normal" subject—an orangutan named Norman—turns out to be exceptionally strange. He speaks English, sleeps in a bed, loves his stuffed toy, goes bananas over pizza, and even deep-sea dives! Oh, no: what's a "normal" scientist to do? A humorous look at the wackiness that makes us all special— and a gentle reminder that "normal" can't ever be defined!

From the Author
I began writing this book with just the name "Normal Norman" in mind. What would he be like? And then I made him behave just the opposite way. I always knew Norman was some kind of animal in the wild, but readers will be interested to know I let the illustrator choose what form Norman should take. I was giddy with glee when S.britt gave me a purple orangutan with nerdy glasses! As a child, I was different. As an adult, I embraced my weirdness and fulfilled a dream to become a kidlit author. This book lets kids know that being different, being themselves, is the ultimate gift in life.
