Book Synopsis

An informative and inclusive children’s guide to neurodiversity for those not in the know and to inspire children who are neurodivergent.

Our brains are unique in the way they function, work, and think. Neurodiversity is still a relatively ‘new’ concept that can be tricky to understand, but this book is here to help! This inspirational book written by neurodiverse author Louise Gooding challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent brains work a little differently.

It is common for neurodiverse people and those with neurological differences to feel as though they don’t fit in, but their extraordinary differences should be embraced. Wonderfully Wired Brains teaches children aged 7-9 all about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have, introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity stereotypes, and most importantly gives them a safe space to feel accepted.

This informative and educational book for children features:

– Accurate, understandable explanations of diagnoses that impact the brain, including each area of neurodiversity and what it can or does mean for anyone with that particular neurological difference.
– A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that debunks myths and stereotypes.
– Informative, inclusive text is accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations.

The font and colours used have been selected to accommodate a range of neurodiverse readers. Combining neurodiverse experiences with science, history, and brain-bursting facts, Wonderfully Wired Brains has something for everyone!

Whether your child is neurodiverse or not, this book will inspire inquisitive young readers and show them that no two brains function in the same way and that everyone’s differences should be celebrated. There really is no other book like it.

Our Review Panel says...

This non-fiction book about neurodiversity should be in every KS2 classroom (and is appropriate and informative for older children too!) to help develop understanding and acceptance in the next generation. It is an informative book about such an important and complex subject.

It is well-written and talks about the positive aspects of neurodiversity, as well as some of the challenges faced, without reinforcing labels or stereotypes. The book provides helpful vocabulary and simple explanations to aid children in understanding how different people’s brains are wired differently. The information about masking was particularly helpful, and it was good to see this included. The book is presented in a logical way and the information is offered in short, manageable chunks, which helps.

A great read, with lots to learn for adults and children.
