​Looking for children's books that will resonate with 'complex' kids? Those with ADHD, autism, learning challenges, mental health challenges, and/or other disabilities?

 

We've been called "a gold mine" for educators and parents who are looking for the right book for the right child.

 

Books and stories with accurate, positive representation help our different kids understand they are not alone in the world. They spark meaningful discussions. They break down stigmas and help our more typical kids to better relate -- and realize we're all human! 

​

Our site offers 3 main resources:

​

1. Database. Our searchable database has 2,000+ works of children's fiction that touch on mental/emotional health, disability, and neurodiversity.

​

2. Educator Resource Pages. A wealth of informative links, initially compiled by autistic children's librarian Adriana White, and added to/updated by our current team.

​

3. Blog Page, where you can read the reflections of more than 250 of today's top children's writers on their own journeys and reasons for writing about mental health, neurodiversity, and disability in books for children.
