A world full of rare wonders. A story about the rarest one of all: you.

One in a Million: Rare Wonders, Rarest You is a lyrical, beautifully illustrated picture book that invites children to look closer at the extraordinary world around them, from moonbows and spotted zebras to flowers that bloom for a single night. Along the way, a gentle truth unfolds: there has never been another you.
