The story of Erlend Andvari and the other Leftovers is the story of misfits and outcasts, weirdos and freaks, people who have been thrown away by family, friends or society. Maybe they’ve even given up on themselves. Are you a Leftover? Do you have an Erlend Andvari in your life, someone who loves and understands you? Below is the symbol of Mr. Andvari and it represents all the people who feel they do not belong.
If you have a Mr. Andvari in your school—a counselor, teacher, or principal—ask them to post this symbol outside their door. When they post it, it lets kids and teens know that person is a safe person to speak with—someone who understands kids who are different. That person might even be a Leftover themselves.
If you are a teacher and have Leftovers at your school—and you do—please download the Leftover symbol from my website and post it in your room. Get a copy of The Leftovers in your ward’s hands to let them know they are not alone in this world. There are people in this life who care about and understand Leftovers.
