Out of My Mind
Sharon Draper’s “Out of My Mind” is a powerful exploration of identity, resilience, and the challenges of living with cerebral palsy. Through the eyes of Melody Brooks, an extraordinarily bright 11-year-old girl who cannot walk or talk, readers are invited into a world where communication is a constant battle, but determination and intellect shine through. This pack allows students to visualize Melody’s journey, from her struggles in the classroom to the triumphs that come when she finally finds her voice. It’s a vibrant tool for exploring themes of inclusion, advocacy, and the unspoken strength of those who often go unheard. Apply the keyword #Out of My Mind to access all content from this pack in the Comic Maker, and bring Melody’s inspiring story to life.
