Navigating grief and friendship as a neurodivergent kid is the core inspiration behind the picture book The Crow and the Garden (Orca $21.95), by author and educator Rosalie Nyce. Nyce, a mother, teacher, school counselor and writer, currently lives on Gitxsan territory. Her book tells the story of Maeve, an autistic girl who loves crows and talks to the ghost of her late aunt and her friendship with Fern, a new student mourning the loss of her father. Through their connection, Maeve’s origami crows and Fern’s drawings of her father’s favorite plants bloom into living magic, cultivating a magical garden and an even more magical connection. Nyce has formal degrees in music, psychology and education and previously spent several years on the spoken word poetry festival circuit. 9781459840072
