Description
Through her trademark quirky monster characters, author Elise Gravel shows the amazing things that our brains can do. They work with our senses and control our bodies. Brains do our thinking and are where our emotions live. And just like no two bodies are alike, no two brains are either. Brains learn and do things in different ways — and that’s okay.
It’s My Brain celebrates everyone’s amazing and unique brain. The best one is the one that belongs to you . . . so take good care of it!
