What Makes Me...Me is a story about harnessing your super powered brain. We are all special and unique and our differences are what make us all special. What Makes Me...Me was written especially for those kids with neurological differences, their families, and their friends.
Review: “For lots of these things, we have no control…like when our brains tell our bodies when to walk or to stroll.”
“Our hearts pump our blood and our brains make us think…our brains help our bodies do lots of cool things.”
Here’s a montage of what our brains can do for us. It can help us talk, sing, and play. It can help us run, jump, and twirl. But not all brains work the same. Sometimes they can make you fidget, twitch, and lose focus.
“My brain is different, that’s what they can’t tell.”
The doctor says words like “Tourette,” “ADHD,”and “OCD.” But that doesn’t stop this little guy.
“My brain is my superpower. It’s what makes me…ME.”
The illustrations were bright and adorable. It’s a fun rhyming book that provides some useful info on those special brains. It’s a great way to teach kids a little about neurological disorders.
A good and fun read!
Rating: 4 stars
