THIS IS MY BRAIN
A Book on Neurodiversity

THIS IS MY BRAIN! is a funny yet accurate book about our brains. With cartoon-style illustrations and easy-to-understand science, kids will learn all about how brains function. They will be surprised that in many ways, our brains are similar, but even more so, how they are different.
Brains work the hardest when kids are first born and little. Babies and toddlers have to learn so much like how to walk, how to climb, how to share, how to talk, how to smile and so much more. Our brains have to hold on to so much information. Even though our brains look pretty much the same, not everyone’s brain is the same inside. We all have different talents inside our brains like math, writing, music, drawing, or athleticism. We also learn differently from others. Some need to play to learn while others need to hear it taught to them and even others need to learn in a quiet environment.
If all our brains were the same, what a boring and robotic world we would live in. I especially liked how this book reminds kids to respect others when someone thinks, acts, or responds differently than they do. Our differences are what make our world better and allow us to pull our ideas together for even bigger projects.
This book touches briefly on neurodiverse brains and how their brains might need different ways to learn, respond, or react. The illustrations make the learning approachable for kids and the explanations are easy for kids to understand.
