A passionate, curious crawdad approaches life with her mind wide open and goes on an adventure exploring her riverbank home. Through her encounters with other animals along the riverbank, she learns that it is good to be different. Mrs. Crawdad will teach every child who meets her, to rejoice and be glad that they are unique and different from others. This curious crustacean won't go through life being sad or dwelling on the things that she doesn't have or can't do. Along with vibrant illustrations that bring this curious crustacean to life, author Kristin Bryan teaches the reader that if you have a good attitude, you can be happy with who you are. Mrs. Crawdad encourages us all to embrace the differences in everyone and appreciate the world around us.
