He is quirky, inventive, and does not readily follow the main stream of people and things around him. He enjoys learning and despite the pressure of others around him, he is true to himself. This story was about a boy name Wesley, who didn’t fit in at school or at home. Wesley felt that he did not fit into his own culture. He embarks on a new journey of planting food crop.

Also, he took natural ingredients from in his garden, Wesley created unique, and comfortable clothing that were very different from other clothing worn in his culture. Wesley invites his culture-mates in because he believed the things he created were useful. Children teased Wesley in the beginning of his new creations, but eventually appreciated Wesley and celebrated him for his talent and unique ideas.

Wesley is an outsider, ‘ alone in his town‘, alarming his parents ‘ and the school nurse.’ He has no friends but ‘plenty of tormentors.’ When Wesley latches onto a throwaway comment from his father about using his knowledge in a summer project, ‘Weslandia‘ is the result.
