All of our brains look very similar – basically an organ resembling a wad of sticky chewing gum. Even though they look like a chewy substance that you might find on the bottom of your shoe, our brains are amazing organs that have superpowers! Our brains help all of us learn, feel, and explore and we need to keep our amazing brain happy and healthy! Read along to discover how different our brains are, what they help us do, and why it is OK if our brain works differently than others.

THOUGHTS: This is perhaps one of the best brain books on neurodiversity presented to young readers in the upper elementary range. With colorful pictures, graphic novel-style writing, this book is extremely informative about the human brain, how it works, and why it is OK for us to think and feel differently than others.
