[8] I loved wonderfully weird Rumple Buttercup when I met him four years ago and have been patiently (sometimes) waiting for Matthew Gray Gubler to introduce me to a new friend whose life began in his imagination. Matthew Gray Gubler will deliver the closing children’s and YA keynote on Wednesday, May 24, 4:30–5 p.m. Yes, this is a children’s book. Do I care? No. Did I love it? Yes. I think everyone no matter what age should read this book. I think it has a really positive message and you can see Matthew’s personality shine through this book with his art. The only sadness I have about this book is that I haven’t managed to find a signed copy yet. I missed out on the Rumple Buttercup signed copies so started looking early for Big Green Hand ones. If I could have made it to America in time, I would have found my way to the book tour. To try and claim a signed copy of the book, of course. But also to see one of the best cars ever!

To me, the best thing you can give someone is a personal gift, like a hand drawn card," he said. "With everything, from the books to directing and even my acting, I want people to feel the human touch and know that it was made for them by a person who loves them ... What it gives to people, hopefully, is an entirely homemade gift from my heart." I need to read this book every day for the rest of my life! Also, Rumple Buttercup is my new best friend!With that in mind, Matthew has used the book to create new connections with the help of his Big Green Hand Tour. As he travels across the country in a green Volkswagen bug with a big hand on the roof, he gets to see people light up as he delivers copies of his latest work. Despite the venture into book writing, there's still one question still remains on fans' minds. Does Matthew ever plan on returning to acting (and subsequently, directing)? If Matthew has his way, there's a chance you'll see him onscreen at some point.

Rumple was different because of his green skin color, three strands of hair, 5 crooked teeth and one foot was bigger than the other. He lived in a drain hiding from everyone. He saw everyone normal and he was scared he won't be accepted into the community. Rumple was always alone and decided to make a friend out of garbage he found. Unfortunately, he only had a one way conversation. He would only leave the drain when it was dark and with a banana peel on his head. He thought he blended in with the garbage but he was noticed by everyone. Rumple was super excited because the only event of the year in which he goes out in the daylight was coming. Unfortunately, an unexpected situation occurred and he no longer felt he had the courage to leave outdoors without his disguise. But to his surprise he was very much missed by everyone. They knew he loved this wonderful event and they opened their hearts to Rumple. Hearing what everyone had to say about their appearance and how different they were made Rumple feel he was accepted and loved.

Let’s face it; we’re all weird in our own way.
