My Brain is a Home is such a beautifully written book. It is so easy to read, my 3.5 year old loves it, it has beautifully illustrated metaphors explaining the different jobs the brain does which my daughter understands and can connect with well.
My daughter took it to Pre-Prep for show and share and the teacher emailed and wanted to keep it at school for the week to incorporate into the learning.
Will definitely be purchasing the books as a gift for “Educators Day” this year!
Reading this to my 6 year old she said "Mum this book is teaching me about my brain but in a fun way" and she is so right. There is so much useful information in here, beautifully packaged and easy to digest. Sparked a wonderful conversation.
This book is so good. My kids love it and even my youngest has started saying things like "my amygdala is barking" when he is stressed/worked up. Will be buying the others soon!
