"Wonderfully and uniquely comprehensive guide"
If you’re a young person with questions about how our brains work, All Brains Are Wonderful is just what you need. Written by superstar teacher Scott Evans and neuroscientist Dr Rachel Williams, it’s a clear, concise and stimulating information book.
In 36 pages, it explores how our brains form and grow, how the different parts control specific areas – the science bit – and also explains conditions that cause neurological disorders.
Further, in a section called Society, it looks at neurodiversity (dyslexia, autism, dyspraxia), explaining in equally clear, age-appropriate language, how neuordivergent people’s brains work simultaneously encouraging readers to help build a brighter, more neuroinclusive future.
With its emphasis on knowledge and understanding, the final section, Taking Action, feels just right. It lists ways to look after your mental health, and keep your brain in shape, alongside the best ways to use your awesome brain. Positive, affirming and information-packed, it’s just the thing for the not so so old or grey matter.
