REVIEW: Affirming Neurodiversity to Support Every Student. "Neurodiversity Affirming Schools" encourages us to reevaluate our practices and consider neurodiversity as a permanent, valuable component of equitable education. #edusky @freespiritbooks.bsky.social www.middleweb.com/52739/affirm...

Wow, I'm delighted that Parents featured I THINK I THINK A LOT in a piece about books celebrating neurodiversity. Many other titles across all kidlit age categories are included--too many to tag! @joseebisaillon.bsky.social @esckeyes.bsky.social @freespiritbooks.bsky.social

I THINK I THINK A LOT bears the message that sometimes on the underside of something bad there is something good. This photo proves that idea on the meta level... #ocdawarenessweek #ocd #anxiety #kidlit #picturebook @joseebisaillon.bsky.social @esckeyes.bsky.social @freespiritbooks.bsky.social

It's #OCDAwarenessWeek so I'll share poet and author Jordan Scott's very kind blurb about I THINK I THINK A LOT. It's inspired by my own #OCD. @joseebisaillon.bsky.social @freespiritbooks.bsky.social @esckeyes.bsky.social
