Out of My Mind is a thoughtful and heartwarming story about overcoming adversity and proving that disabilities do not define someone’s intelligence, dreams, or self-worth. Melody is a fifth-grade student with cerebral palsy who feels trapped in a body that does not work like everyone else’s.

Melody joins a mainstream classroom and discovers that some classmates underestimate her abilities.

As unexpected obstacles arise, Melody learns to persevere, believe in herself, and recognize her own worth. Ultimately, she discovers the importance of being true to herself.
