To me, "The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos" [1] by Deborah Heiligman and LeUyen Pham is a true gem. I suppose it might raise interesting discussions on how and why one should tolerate eccentric people. A book full of warmth, both in storytelling and illustrations (wow!). 1: https://www.amazon.com/Boy-Who-Loved-Math-Improbable/dp/1596...
