Wonderfully Wired Brains

Review

Highly commended in The Week Junior Children's Book of the Year 2024 in the STEM category. This inspirational book challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent brains work a little differently. Written by neurodiverse author Louise Gooding. Our brains are unique in the way they function, work, and think. Neurodiversity is still a relatively 'new' concept that can be tricky to understand, but this book is here to help! It is common for neurodiverse people and those with neurological differences to feel as though they don't fit in, but their extraordinary differences should be embraced. This book teaches children all about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have, introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity stereotypes, and most importantly gives them a safe space to feel accepted. Combining neurodiverse experiences with science, history, and extraordinary facts, Wonderfully Wired Brains has something for everyone! Whether your child is neurodiverse or not, this book will inspire inquisitive young readers and show them that no two brains function in the same way and that everyone's differences should be celebrated. There really is no other book like it.
