Wonderfully Wired Brains by Louise Gooding (author) and Ruth Burrows (illustrator)

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 inspirational book, written by neurodiverse author Louise Gooding, challenges misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent brains work a little differently. 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 educational book for children features:

A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that debunks myths and stereotypes.
Informative, inclusive text is accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations.
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.

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.

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!

Wonderfully Wired Brains has been highly commended for the Week Junior Book Awards and shortlisted for the ALCS Educational Writers’ Award.
