Good Afternoon,

I am working on curating titles for books with neurodiverse characters. If
you have any time to add book covers to the virtual bookshelves
<https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yEMjEBJLS7y5rePsCHMCUI_bA8oKUVEbS0Gad-Ws-cA/edit?usp=sharing>
or the spreadsheet with links to digital copies, feel free to
collaborate--send me an email if you want me to make you an editor.:)

And if not, that is okay too--feel free to utilize and share the lists once
they are done!
