The Indigo Children, by Lee Carroll and Jan Tober, published by Hay House in 1999, is a popular promotional text, not a scholarly or clinical source. Its strength is that it is the specific book that took Nancy Ann Tappe's earlier personal observation and turned it into a wider popular movement, so it is the correct citation for that step in the concept's history. Its limit is that it makes no scientific or clinical claim that has been independently verified, and should be cited only as evidence of the movement's own literature, not as evidence for the concept itself.
