Learn how changing your mindset can change your life! Do you ever give up when things are difficult? Sometimes we all say things like, "I'm bad at math, so there's no point in studying" or "I can't change-so why bother trying." This is called having a fixed mindset. When you have a fixed mindset, you take failure as evidence that you're not good at something.

On the other hand, a growth mindset is a way of viewing yourself and the world that says, "I may not know how to do t...

A Washington Post Best Children's Book of 2018
Who's Crazy?

What does it mean to be crazy? Is using the word crazy offensive? What happens when a label like that gets attached to your everyday experiences?

To understand mental health, we need to talk openly about it. Because there's no single definition of crazy, there's no single experience that embodies it, and the word itself means different things-wild? extreme? disturbed? passionate?-to different people.

In (Don't) Call Me Crazy, thirty-three actors, athletes, writers, and artists offer essays, lists, comics, and illustrations that explore a wide range of topics:
their personal experiences with mental illness,
how we do and don't talk about mental health,
help for better understanding how every person's brain is wired differently,
and what, exactly, might make someone crazy. If you've ever struggled with your mental health, or know someone who has, come on in, turn the pages . . . and let's get talking.
This award-winning anthology is from the highly-praised editor of Here We Are: Feminism for the Real World and Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy.
