Synopsis"riveting ... powerful ... brilliant ... necessary" -- Kirkus Reviews For those drawn to both Tara Westover's moving account of a difficult childhood and Susan Cain's research on underappreciated traits ... Canaries Among U s reveals the exquisite joy and tender heartache inherent in raising a child who is undervalued by a community. A lifeline to those struggling with learning differences, bullying, and anxiety, Canaries Among U s explores one of the most widespread threats to child well-being: a lack of acceptance. This heart-rending exposé provides a candid view of the ways unique children are regularly misunderstood and mistreated. Fortunately, through raw storytelling and ground-breaking science, Taylor points to an inspirational alternative: supporting, and even celebrating, the dazzling variety of our humanity. The author is donating her profits to organizations promoting mental health, neurodiversity, and bullying prevention. Note: This book was previously subtitled "A Mother's Quest to Honor her Child's Individuality in a Culture Determined to Negate It.", An urgent exposé revealing the most widespread yet little acknowledged threat to child well-being: lack of acceptance. This daring memoir not only uncovers the truth about how our schools and communities treat unique children but also provides meaningful insights for a more dignified future, through the lens of Taylor's own experiences raising a neurodiverse child.
