Today My Brain is a Dinosaur
An award-winning, authentic perspective on neurodiversity.
One boy tries his hardest to do what is expected of him, but his brain just refuses to cooperate. Today it's a DINOSAUR! And tomorrow a raging bull. Who knows what might come next? He tries to cope but sinks deeper into despair as his world feels more and more unmanageable. In the midst of a hurricane-brain, his family pulls him back to calmer waters. The boy learns to use his unique moods and mind-sets to their best advantage, stay flexible, and, when in doubt, ask for help.
This Own Voices, Own Stories Grand Prize Winner gives readers an authentic glimpse into what life can feel like for kids with autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent traits.
