One thing that I love to do with my kiddos is read with them. We visit libraries frequently to change out our books. I am always looking for new books and finding ones from local authors is an added bonus. I have found a good one! In a world where embracing differences and fostering self-love are crucial, local author Kayla Deickman has emerged as a beacon of inspiration, especially for neurodivergent children. With her heartwarming children's books, Kayla aims to instill confidence and promote acceptance, all while celebrating the uniqueness of every individual.

One of her latest creations, "All Brains are Beautiful," is a delightful exploration of diversity in thinking. Tailored with neurodivergent children in mind, this book celebrates the uniqueness of each child's mind, emphasizing that our differences are what make us truly special. Through colorful illustrations and engaging storytelling, Kayla invites young readers to embrace their individuality and appreciate the beauty of their own brains.
Another gem in Kayla's collection is "I Love Myself," a book brimming with positive affirmations designed to uplift young hearts and minds. Utilizing "I" statements, this book encourages children to speak kind words to themselves, fostering a sense of self-worth and confidence. Widely used in classroom settings as a tool for building self-esteem, "I Love Myself" has become a cherished resource for both educators and parents alike.
Behind these inspiring books is Kayla herself, a devoted mother of three and a proud advocate for neurodiversity. Drawing from her own experiences as someone with ADHD and dyslexia, Kayla is passionate about providing the support and understanding she lacked during her own childhood. With her furry companions and love for reading and art, Kayla embodies the creativity and empathy that shine through her work.
