Everyone deserves a good story
My Kind of Book creates and promotes inclusive books and sensory stories for people with additional needs and works to make picture books more accessible for everyone.
In September 2024 we hosted our very first Accessible Book & Story Festival.
In this video, find out about how My Kind of Book creates special, innovative books for families of children with complex needs to share and enjoy together. We want to do more of this!
Current Projects
We are busy working with hospital and ASN schools on a new book research project and we are also making plans for new books. We continue to run sensory story sessions and training. And we have re-opened our online bookshop.

New inclusive books!
We are delighted with our first inclusive books for children with additional needs. Stone Soup is a picture book adapted from a traditional folk tale and Pine Cones and Thistledown is a nature-themed booklet. The feedback from children, parents and teachers has been wonderful! Huge thanks to our funders of these two book projects: Wigtown Book Festival, New Park Educational Trust, John Watson’s Trust, Spifox and Ramblers Holidays Charitable Trust.
Ground-breaking research
We have just completed two research projects exploring the accessibility of picture books. One project was funded by Creative Scotland and the other by the Connected Innovators scheme.
