About
Our brains are wonderfully unique in the way they function, work, and think. Written by loud, proud advocate for neurodiversity inclusion and neurodivergent author Louise Gooding, Wonderfully Wired Brains challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent brains work a little differently. Combining neurodiverse experiences with science, history, extraordinary facts, accessible text and wonderfully colourful illustrations by Ruth Burrows, this is an informative and inclusive guide to the brain and neurodiversity, which inspires and informs all children, whether they have a neurodivergent experience or not.
It is common for neurodivergent people to feel as though they don't fit in, but all humans are different and everyone's extraordinary neurodiversity should be embraced. This supportive book shows children the incredible abilities that neurodiverse people have, and introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity stereotypes from British gymnastic champion Evie Meg Field, to artist Stephen Wiltshire. Most importantly it gives them a safe space to feel accepted and appreciated.
Wonderfully Wired Brains details all the different neurodiversities that people might have from ADHD, to dyslexia, to anxiety, and teaches awareness through colourful and engaging illustrations, and positive, informative language that allows everyone to feel seen and included.
Whether your child has a neurodivergent experience or not, this book will inspire inquisitive young readers whilst educating everyone, and show them that no two brains function in the same way and that everyone's different brains should be celebrated.
