Merritt Finds His Balance

By Niamh Frances Mannion

Merritt is learning to ride the waves, both in the ocean and in himself. When urges bubble up, will Merritt find his balance and make choices that feel right for everyone?

Dive in to discover an neurodivergent-affirming story about boundaries, connection and finding steady ground (even when the tides get strong ) With warmth and honesty, Merritt Finds His Balance guides young readers through the feelings and urges that can come with growing up, showing that it's okay to pause, check in with ourselves and others, and make choices that respect everybody.

Perfect for families, educators, therapists, and anyone wanting to nurture consent, self-awareness and body autonomy.
