Publisher's Summary

“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 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 exposé 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.
