Neuro Divergent
Books in this category seek to represent the range of people whose brains develop or work differently in some way. Those with neuro-divergency have strengths and struggles that can be different to a 'typical' experience. Books are the perfect way to introduce and help us understand a different perspective. We all need to see ourselves represented in stories, and, at the same time, connect with the stories of others.
Some books in this category are specifically printed in a dyslexic friendly way so that the story is more accessible.
