The Remarkables

The Most Incredible Children I've Met — So Far!

  • Interest Level: Grade 1 - Grade 5
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

Meet 38 extraordinary children: an electric child, a flying child, elastic, invisible, miniature, a child made of cake.

Each child describes their characteristics, tells anecdotes, and presents the special powers that make them unique. A “class photo” brings everyone together with a quiz finale for readers to discover their own superpowers.

The Remarkables is a big book of fantasy and humor that entertains and provides a way to talk about emotions and identity. Through Perrin’s unique imagination, this inclusive encyclopedia celebrates individuality, strengths, and differences, allowing every reader to explore what miraculous superpower they would wish for—or might have.

Known for her original lift-the-flap explorations of fairytale stories, Perrin here turns the lens onto her child readers, showing each one that they are a superhero.

Foreword Reviews

The author makes the introductions in this tongue-in-cheek, wild ride of a picture book about remarkable children—some of them fantastical, others closer to reality than you think. Each child receives a detailed spread with multiple illustrations regarding their special talents and origin stories. Children are sure to pick favorites from this colorful cast, including a child made of sugar, a child who is full of surprises, and a child who can fit into anything. Older reading helpers will appreciate the satirical touches throughout.”—starred, Foreword Reviews
