BOOKS TO EXPLORE IN OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY  Neurodiversity Book Highlights What is neurodiversity? “Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving, and differences are not viewed as deficits.” (Baumer, 2021) Each of the carefully selected titles in this month’s library highlights focus on characters who have neurological variances and differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD. And did you know April is Autism Acceptance Month? Use these titles to explore themes around neurodiversity with students and to cultivate meaningful classroom discussions. This collection can be found linked through our library webpage and please reach out to Mrs. Levine at alevine@maplerun.org if you have any questions on how to access these titles!  The main character has feelings so big that they glow from his cheeks, spill out of his eyes, and jump up and down on his chest. When he hears a joke, he bursts with joy. When a loud truck drives by, he cries. When his loved ones are having a hard day, he feels their emotions as if they were his own. Beautifully illustrated and written in rhyming verse, children and adults explore the whole spectrum of feelings and readers navigate the emotional challenges they face throughout the day.  My Awesome Autism is a book designed to help children learn about their autism diagnosis and diversity. It helps children to understand that they are truly wonderful as they are, and do not need to conform or adapt to understand things that do not suit their needs. It helps to open up the subject in a gentle and nurturing way. |
