Mia the Moose: Embracing Our Unique Paths By Jen Coffer, RP (Registered Psychotherapist) Mia the Moose is a little different from the other animals in the forest — and she’s beginning to realize that different doesn’t mean broken. As Mia watches her friends race, chatter, and follow the usual paths, she quietly wonders why her journey feels slower, softer, and more winding. Through gentle moments, supportive friendships, and her own growing self-confidence, Mia learns that her unique path is not something to hide — it is something to honour. Mia the Moose: Embracing Our Unique Paths is a tender, inclusive story that helps children understand: That every brain works in its own beautiful way - That comparison is not the measure of worth - That kindness, patience, and empathy create belonging - That being yourself is always enough Written by a neuroaffirming psychotherapist and mother of neurodivergent children, this story offers a warm, affirming message for autistic children, neurodivergent readers, siblings, classmates, and caregivers alike. Perfect for: Families seeking representation - Classrooms and school libraries - Therapy and counselling spaces - Social-emotional learning - World Autism Awareness conversations This book is not about fixing differences — it’s about celebrating them.
