Summary

A story to help understanding a neurodivergent brain。
Created and inspired by my daughters ADHD diagnosis, I wanted to gift her a book that help explained her brain's processes and needs。 No big words or acronyms that result in 'what does that mean' and bring the child out of the story。
"Brains are just like cars, they all drive round and round a track, picking up information and then bringing it back。 Some brains are Race Cars that like to drive extra fast。 Sometimes though, they forget to sop and fully complete a task。'
But driving cars fast all the time and not servicing or maintaining them leads to overheating and burnout。
We can apply that same logic to our brains。
I am so proud of this book, and sharing with friends I have been told the same principles talked about in this book apply to their children who are on the spectrum。

good theme but spelling mistakes The theme of this book is great and I had high hopes。 However, it slightly misses the mark a bit and assumes one size fits all。 There are also spelling mistakes in it ie, quite instead of quiet and some parts that don’t make sense, Ie, stay on for a few houses。 So I was quite disappointed, as I thought this would be perfect for children with ADHD where their mind is a bit chaotic。 These few points just let it down。

Magic Brain Love!Great read for my magic brain 6yo Grandson。 I too, have ADHD and this was a great way to share our thoughts and feelings as I read to him。 This also lead to further discussions about how we can show empathy for other ND people and educate our NT friends in a simple and understandable way! Thank you 😊
