At the heart of MindMosaic Kids are three friendly faces: Max, Maxine, and Maxy, bright, cheerful, and always ready to guide children through important lessons about emotions and empathy.
- Max: A warm-hearted boy with short brown hair and a love for drawing.
- Maxine: A playful girl with ginger hair and a big smile.
- Maxy: Our non-binary character with a blue braided undercut and a caring personality.
Max Maine and Maxi stories are available in two versions: Understanding Feelings and Every Face is Different. So your child can choose their favourite narrator, Max, Maxine, or Maxy, making the reading experience more personal and relatable.
Why I Created MindMosaic Kids
As a parent of neurodivergent children, I wanted ASD children’s picture books that didn’t just tell a story, but actually helped children understand emotions in a way that felt safe, kind, and fun. These books are interactive; after each short section, children can draw, write, or even use their favourite stickers to express their own thoughts and feelings. This helps them connect the story to their own experiences, building both self-awareness and confidence.
Gentle Learning Through Theory of Mind (ToM)
The MindMosaic Kids series is based on Theory of Mind (ToM) learning, a way of helping children understand that other people may think, feel, and believe differently from them. This skill is especially important for autistic children, as it supports empathy, communication, and social understanding.
Why our books work so well for ages 4–10:
- Short, simple sentences make them easy to follow.
- Colourful illustrations keep attention and make concepts clear.
- Interactive prompts encourage creativity and self-expression.
- Gentle pacing avoids overwhelming sensitive readers.
