Canaries Among Us 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 Us explores one of the most widespread threats to child well-being: a lack of acceptance. This heart-rending expose provides a candid view of the ways unique children are regularly misunderstood and mistreated. Fortunately, through raw storytelling and groundbreaking science, Taylor points to an inspirational alternative: supporting, and even celebrating, the dazzling variety of our humanity.
