ASQUITH, Ros

An educational resource for young readers that uses an accessible narrative and light-hearted illustrations to explain the diverse functions and abilities of the human brain. Could also serve as a good conversation starter with children about difficult subjects like a grandparent dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. Read-alikes include Hoffman’s The Great Big Book of Families, Gabi Garcia’s Listening to My Body, and Niels van Hove’s My Strong Mind.

An additional purchase for large collections looking to expand their poetry selection.
