Matthew Gray Gubler Chats About His Book, "Rumple Buttercup"

"Rumple Buttercup" is a unique and inspiring tale about embracing individuality, written and illustrated by "Criminal Minds" actor/director, Matthew Gray Gubler. Rumple Buttercup has five crooked teeth, three strands of hair, green skin, and his left foot is slightly bigger than his right. He is weird. In the book, he and Candy Corn Carl (his imaginary friend made of trash) learn the joy of individuality as well as the magic of belonging.

[@ayannalowery6196]

im watching every mgg interview instead of studying for my test on Monday lol

[@weasley2o13]

I have a 12 year old autistic miracle of a cousin and this book makes me love him and be proud of his journey even more. He doesn't speak English and though he reads like a Prince he doesn't like it very much so my plan is to buy this for him and at first go over the drawings with him to make him guess what's going on and make up his own story and then translate the entire book for him one word after the other. Until he realizes just how beautiful he is.

[@marshadnd]

oh man i love him so much
