Carol Gilligan and the Search for Voice
By Bill Cole, Sarah Green
A biography of the life and work of groundbreaking developmental psychologist Carol Gilligan, intended for high school age readers, part of the APA's Extraordinary Women in Psychology Series.
Carol Gilligan has devoted her life to discovering, uncovering, and recovering voices belonging to girls and women, as well as boys and men.
Through her work, she has played an enormous role in reconceptualizing traditionally held views on moral and identity development in young people, most prominently in her landmark 1982 book detailing her ethic of care model, In a Different Voice (coined by Harvard University Press as "The little book that started a revolution").
Drawing on source material that includes interviews with Gilligan as well as her own writings in books and articles, this book offers young readers not only the opportunity to learn about a pioneering psychologist and her momentous work, but also for them to consider the potential power of their own voices as they go forward in life.

Mamie Phipps Clark, Champion for Children
By Lynnette Mawhinney, Neil Evans
This inspiring graphic novel tells the story of groundbreaking psychologist and civil rights activist Mamie Phipps Clark, PhD and her research in the racial identity and development of self in Black children, the work that ultimately played a vital role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case.
Mamie was born and raised in Hot Springs, Arkansas, during a time when United States laws intentionally disadvantaged Black people and permitted racial segregation. This profoundly impacted her life and work and instilled in her an unstoppable force to champion for Black children.
Mamie made a difference with science - she studied math and psychology at Howard University. She was first Black woman to graduate from Columbia University with a doctorate degree in psychology. Mamie expanded her earlier master's research into the famous black-doll/white-doll experiments that exposed the negative effects of racial segregation in children. Along with her research partner and husband, Kenneth Clark, Mamie became expert witnesses in several school desegregation cases, including Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954, which effectively ended racial segregation in school.
Mamie dedicated her life to advocate for children who deserved more than what society offered them, and she built the Northside Center in Harlem, NY to support children with special needs, academic programs, and mental health services.

Home
By Tonya Lippert, Andrea Stegmaier
In the brown house, Claire and Wes were home. But home turned to nowhere and nowhere turned to anywhere. Then somewhere finally came, and finally, always. This lyrical story is timely and thoughtful, depicting the life of two children thrust into homelessness and uncertain housing situations as they move out of their house, to a motel, to a shelter, and finally another more permanent home. Throughout, the duo is challenged by uncomfortable new places and inquiries from strangers, but ultimately, never lose their optimism or determination. They have each other, no matter at home, nowhere, anywhere, or somewhere-always. Includes a poignant Reader's Note on how homelessness affects children and what we can do to help. MAGINATION
