A Kids Book About Brain Health

This book has several important qualities. It introduces children to the unique and incredible features of a human brain including its ability to adapt, change and grow (ie, neuroplasticity). It encourages a very important conversation between the child and parent about brain health and brain care. It reinforces a very important concept and public health message: the brain must be nurtured and protected along one's life by adopting a healthy lifestyle to maximize its potential over one's lifespan. Dr. Jon Artz, MD (he/him), Neurologist and PodCast Co-Host (Let's Talk Brain Health!)

My 8-year-old daughter and I read this book together and it created a lot of dialogue regarding how we take care of ourselves. We were able to talk about what we are doing well right now, and what we can get better on in the future. It was fun for her to read with the colors and the vibrant pictures. It helped me realize that she is aware of brain health in an 8-year-old summary and opened the door for future conversations about feelings and emotions. I would recommend this book to everyone with young kids to explore more conversations. -Erin Thompson (she/her), Executive Director at Aspire for More with Erin
