‘When b small approached me to write All Brains Are Wonderful, I was excited to explore more than just the mechanics of how our brains work. My aim was to help children understand the uniqueness of their own brains and take pride in their differences. As a neurodivergent teacher, I often feel misunderstood, which has made me increasingly aware of the importance of teaching children about their own minds and those of others. This understanding can empower them to embrace their identities and nurture not only acceptance but also appreciation for one another.
By exploring the different ways in which brains develop, this book introduces children to the idea that neurodiversity is not just natural but invaluable, as each new perspective enriches our lives and engaging with these differences opens the door to greater empathy. I hope All Brains Are Wonderful inspires children to feel confident in their individuality, stand up against discrimination and celebrate the inherent beauty in every brain—because in doing so, we can create a world where kindness grows.’
