All Brains Are Wonderful is the most remarkable book that explores the intricacies of our brain in a way that children will be able to understand and enjoy. It combines interesting and important facts with bright engaging illustrations to create a book that will prove both enjoyable and useful for readers of all ages.
Covering a range of relevant topics, including how our brains are formed, the book guides readers through the essential details and also includes some incredible facts (the book definitely taught me some things I didn't know!).
The sections I particularly love are those about Society and Taking Action. Section two, Society, is all about neurodiversity; the past, present and future; discrimination and whether neurodiversity is a disability. Each of these areas is sensitively explained in detail, in a way that both neurotypical and neurodiverse people will understand and appreciate. The final section, Taking Action, looks at how we can look after our brains, both in terms of nutrition as well as mental health.
As a teacher, and as a pastoral lead, I am always looking for books that I can use in school and All Brains Are Wonderful is one that I will use repeatedly, both with individuals as well as with classes.
Publishing on the 3rd February, All Brains Are Wonderful is a book that should be in every school.
