There is a growing selection of books available which help children understand how their developing brains work. This one, from teacher Scott Evans, has a super-engaging format and eye-catching illustrations.

“Discover all about your Very Important Brain! The brain is the boss of your body. But it’s more than anatomy. You might not always understand it – you might even feel like your brain is different. But being different is completely natural. Primary school teacher, neurodivergent spokesperson and reading for pleasure expert Scott Evans, with the help of a neuroscientist, shows how neurodiversity, mental health and training your brain are what makes you YOU…and YOU are amazing!”

They say that knowledge is power, and what could be more powerful than knowing how your brain works and how you have the power to mould it?!

This excellent book guides readers on a journey through the developments brain, from conception onwards. It then goes on to explore neurodiversity, discrimination, and how to nurture good mental health – it’s a really comprehensive guide to all things brain!

Explanations are clear and succinct, enhanced by The Boy Fitz Hammond’s vibrant illustrations. I shall definitely be referring to this book the next time I do a lesson on the function the brain and how we have the power to strengthen or prune neural pathways.
