Description
Some Brains is the latest heartwarming and funny picture book by Melbourne comedian and author, Nelly Thomas.
It starts from the premise that neurodiversity (conditions like Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and the like) is a normal, essential part of human biodiversity - without it we don't get Picasso, Einstein or Greta Thunberg! Yes, neurodiverse kids sometimes require a bit of extra help and patience, but they should never be viewed as disordered. Some Brains encourages us all look for our strengths and to understand that brains are like fingerprints - uniquely, wonderfully ours.
All brains are special,
All brains are smart,
All kids have big thoughts,
And all kids have big hearts.
ALL KIDS ARE SPECIAL - JUST FOLLOW THEIR HEARTS
