About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing they learn or behave differently than their classmates, or if they have recently received a diagnosis like ADHD or autism. It is the perfect tool for moving away from the idea of being broken and toward the concept of being unique. Elise Gravel uses her signature whimsical monsters to explain that brains come in all sorts of shapes and styles, just like bodies. This graphic narrative celebrates neurodiversity by explaining complex concepts like sensory processing and hyperfocus in a way that feels like a party rather than a doctor visit. It is highly appropriate for elementary aged children, providing a vocabulary of self advocacy and pride. Parents will appreciate how it normalizes the challenges of a neurodivergent brain while highlighting the incredible strengths that come with it.
