The Boy Who Grew Flowers by Jen Wojtowicz

A must have book!

Everyone in Rink Bowagon's family is a little different. His uncle trains rattlesnakes and his siblings and cousins are all shape-shifters.  The boy has a special quirkiness all his own.  On nights when there is a full moon, he sprouts beautiful, perfect, fragrant flowers from his body.  At school, he is quiet and shy, and the other children keep their distance from him. One day, Angelina joins his class and all of the students vie for her attention.  She has her own gift and recognizes what a special boy Rink really is.  Together, their story is one that celebrates individuality and self-acceptance.
