Created by educator Leigh Courtney, Ph.D., who holds both master’s and doctoral degrees in education. This guide places an emphasis on helping readers analyze and comprehend the emotions and motivations of the story’s main characters.
My labor of love for the past few years has been creating this free online resource for exploring children’s literature that deals with mental health and neurodiversity. It’s been called “a gold mine” for educators and parents who are looking for the right book for the right child. There are educator pages, a searchable database of 1000+ books, and weekly blog posts by amazing children’s authors who draw from their own neurodivergent/mental-health experiences and passions in creating books that help and heal. Please check it out!
