Picture books for neurodivergent minds
Welcome to The Little Library!
Each book is 21 × 21 cm, soft back, and built to be read out loud again and again. Designed with calm, clarity, and care.
For autistic children, and for the siblings and classmates learning to see the world as they do.
Bear is a gentle soul who experiences the world differently. Louder, brighter, closer. He shows children what autism can feel like from the inside.
“My son has recently been diagnosed with autism so I bought this book to help him and I understand it a little more”
For children with ADHD, and for anyone who shares a classroom or a kitchen table with a busy mind.
Fox moves at full speed. Big energy, deep hyperfocus, a hundred ideas at once. A story about the beauty of a busy mind.
“This book is amazing and Irene deserves so much for making this book ❤️”

The SEN Duo Bundle brings together Through Bear's Eyes and Through Fox's Eyes, one gentle, one full of energy, both written to help children understand difference and treat it with kindness.
For classrooms
Too many children are misunderstood at school, with this bundle you will be able to take one of each into the setting and it can be read at circle time to educate all of the children as to why some friends are different.
Our story
Inspired by becoming a mum and by growing up autistic, with ADHD and anxiety, I started The Little Library to give children stories that don't just entertain, but explain and reassure.
Every child deserves a story that helps them feel seen, understood and loved. That's the whole of it.
Books on grief, disability and emotional wellbeing are on the way to help families through the hardest moments with love and understanding.
