Come explore The Brain Forest, which follows a mother and her son down the path of understanding the different ways brains can be.

Brains that go fast, brains that go slow, brains that do what they're told, brains that say NO!

A heart-warming read that helps celebrate neurodiversity without dismissing its challenges, and centers around building a strengths-based society where everyone is valued for what they have to offer.

This book helps start conversations and offers ideas to the reader about what they can do to create more inclusive environments.

Industry Reviews

"I love this book. It's such a simple and positive introduction to neurodivergence. I was struggling to figure out how to talk to my son about his diagnosis that would create understanding and not trigger shame or a sense of being problematically different. As we read he was calmer than he had been in any other conversation that we've had around the subject.I was struggling to figure out how to talk to my son about his diagnosis without triggering shame. At some point I pointed to a tree and said 'this is my kind of brain.' Without anxiety he pointed to another and said 'this is mine.' It was so heartwarming." - Jamiz

"What an incredible resource! A beautifully written and illustrated book that made it a joy to share with the young people I work with!" - Loren. W

"Wonderful! Love the language used/my 7 yo could understand and thoroughly enjoy this book! Great that dual diagnosis was included. Sandhya is a treasure I have learnt so much from her" - Bec. F

"Highly recommended! This is one of the best books I've ever seen for explaining this to kids in a way that is clear, embracing of all, and neurodiversity-affirming. Thank you for writing this incredible resource! I want every child in the world to read it!" - Lauren D.
