This is the real-life story of Jeremy, a rare garden snail found in 2015 by a retired London scientist. Jeremy's shell spiraled to the left, indicating reversed internal anatomy--including a heart positioned on the right. As a result, a similarly rare mate was needed in order to procreate.

Jeremy is a land snail and as such is a hermaphrodite. Super cool but perhaps more compelling is that Jeremy has a rare gene causing a mutation of 'situs inversus'.
Do read The Snail with the Right Heart to benefit from Popova's knowledgeable, sweet and optimistic outlook on our world. And to experience happiness from Ping Zhu's bright, warm, welcoming and friendly illustrations.
