I Am Odd, I Am New

Review "Written when the autistic author was 10, Giroux’s poetic exploration of being/feeling different from the perspective of living on the spectrum brings to light that being neurodivergent is not the same as being broken or “less.” Being different is not an insurmountable obstacle to experiencing life but rather a gift to experience more."  -- Kirkus Starred Review"Benjamin Giroux's goal when writing his poem was to have society understand that being odd is different, and different is a good thing." -- Today"A 10-year-old New York boy who was given a school assignment ended up touching the hearts of thousands after writing a moving poem that gives an inside look into his life with autism." -- The Daily Mail"Later, paper airplanes soar with the suggestion that different shouldn’t mean separate, providing an answer to the poem’s hopeful concluding sentiments about finding where one belongs." -- Publisher's Weekly“this illustrated book and its powerful message will be an invaluable resource for creative writing teachers. With unique clarity, it provides a child’s perspective of the world that will inspire genuine empathy in KS2 children reading this independently, or discussing it as a class in PSHE lessons.” -- School Reading List About the Author

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
