A Novel Mind offers a wealth of resources centered around children's books. Founders Sally J. Pla and Merriam Saunders are accomplished authors dedicated to giving these underrepresented groups a voice and presence within the literature.
The site has a comprehensive database housing an array of children's books. Each features characters confronting mental health or neurodiversity issues. This database has a user-friendly search feature that enables users to narrow down their selections. Users can choose their favorite books based on factors such as age group, genre, and other relevant criteria.
On the other hand, the resource page is designed to equip teachers with valuable insights on effectively integrating children's books into lessons centered around mental health and neurodiversity. These pages provide a reservoir of information, empowering educators to foster understanding and empathy among students.
The blog section serves as a canvas for authors, educators, and advocates to pen illuminating pieces touching on facets of mental health, neurodiversity, and children's literature.
