The Weirdots by Steffanie Najera and C.M. Harris is a colorful story about weird-looking dots doing what they like. Juice, a jolly dot, embarks on an adventure through a meadow path. The first dot Juice meets is Aqua, a talented builder. Juice lends Aqua a hand, and soon they build a beautiful structure with blocks. The dot duo continues the adventure and meets a spunky dot, Punk. Punk is cool and plays rock, and together, the three groove. The trio of dots continue on the adventure and meet Gween, a very artistic but sad painter. How will this jolly team connect with grumpy Gween? What other kind of dots will Juice meet on their adventure?
On the face of it, The Weirdots seemed to be just a children’s book about weird dots meeting and having fun. However, after some thought, I realized that this little book depicts human reality. On our journey through life, we meet different people—each one weird (unique) in their way—and we engage with them. Children can learn a thing or two from Juice, who positively engages the dots they meet. Besides its resounding message on individuality and creativity, I loved several other aspects of this book. The dots were indeed weird in shape, but I loved their names, especially “Juice.” I also loved the colorful drawings by Brenda Figueroa. I was impressed with the book’s vocabulary and thought-out end rhymes. The Weirdots by Steffanie Najera and C.M. Harris had an unexpected impact on me, and I recommend it.
