Minna’s Masks

Louise Gooding

£7.99

This heart-warming and inclusive picture book introduces the concept of masking to young children – neurodivergent or otherwise. Meet Minna. When Minna needs to feel brave, she wears a mask, when she meets new people, she wears a mask. On Minna’s first day at a new school, she realises she’s left her masks at home and starts to feel very nervous indeed. Things are too loud and too noisy – what if she says the wrong thing or does something silly? But when a classmate shows Minna the mask in his back pocket, she realises she’s not alone. Perhaps it is possible to be accepted – with or without a mask.

Description

Meet Minna and learn about the concept of masking in this informative and inclusive picture book on neurodiversity.

Minna’s Masks teaches children aged 3-5 all about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have and gives them a safe space to feel accepted.

This inspirational book is written by neurodiverse author Louise Gooding, author of Wonderfully Wired Brains, and sensitively explores a range of neurodivergent experiences. Through Minna’s story, readers will learn about masking, which people use to help them fit in or adjust to situations where they may otherwise feel insecure, as well as important lessons about empathy and compassion.

This educational book for children features:

  • A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that debunks myths and stereotypes.
  • Informative, inclusive text accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations.
  • Accurate, understandable explanations of diagnoses that impact the brain, including each area of neurodiversity and what it can or does mean for anyone with that particular neurological difference.

This book inspires curious young readers and celebrates individual differences, showing that every brain is special. Whether your child is neurodiverse or not, this book will teach them the importance of embracing everyone’s unique qualities.

The font and colours used have been selected to accommodate a range of neurodiverse readers. Combining neurodiverse experiences with science, history, and brain-bursting facts, Minna’s Masks has something for everyone.
