Cakes of All Kinds: Celebrating Neurodiversity
By Gina Howland, Clinical Psychologist
In this delightful and heartwarming children's book, Cakes of All Kinds: Celebrating Neurodiversity, readers are invited into a magical kitchen where three friends—Luna, Max, and Zoe—bake cakes while learning about the beautiful variety of how people's brains work. Just like cakes come in all different shapes, sizes, and flavours, every person is unique in how they think, feel, and experience the world.
Through fun and colourful illustrations, the story explains concepts of neurodiversity, helping children understand that differences, like autism, make the world richer and more interesting. Luna, Max, and Zoe’s baking adventure teaches young readers that, like the cakes they bake, everyone’s abilities and perspectives are special, valuable, and worth celebrating.
Perfect for parents, educators, and clinicians, Cakes of All Kinds provides an engaging way to introduce children to the idea that no brain is better or worse than another—just different, like the variety of cakes we all love! This book will help foster understanding, empathy, and acceptance of neurodiversity in a fun and approachable way.
