The Great Big Brain Book
An educational resource for young readers that uses an accessible narrative and light-hearted illustrations to explain the diverse functions and abilities of the human brain. Could also serve as a good conversation starter with children about difficult subjects like a grandparent dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. Read-alikes include Hoffman’s The Great Big Book of Families, Gabi Garcia’s Listening to My Body, and Niels van Hove’s My Strong Mind.
