The Neufeld Institute’s list of children’s literature recommendations is updated annually each spring to match-make parents and professionals with outstanding kids’ books. The 68-page booklet includes nearly 350 titles — a mix of picture books, books for the very young, early readers and chapter books, middle-grade books, young-adult books, and books to enjoy as a family.
The booklet includes an extensive index of authors, illustrators, and publishers. Picture books can be easily matched to your needs, thanks to categories that reflect Dr. Neufeld’s attachment-based developmental paradigm:
- Connections to Parents
- Grandparents, Extended Family, Village of Attachment
- Sibling Relationships
- Language of Feelings
- Inspiring or Portraying Play
- NEW: Connection to the Natural World
- Relationships to Special Teachers
- Transplanting Children
- Special Challenges (death, divorce, allergies, cancer, learning disabilities, moving, and sensitivity/giftedness)
PRICE: $10 CAD
All proceeds go toward the Gail Eleanor Carney Memorial Scholarship Fund, as her love of children’s literature and the creation of the Neufeld Institute list of book recommendations is just one of her many legacies.
