A little girl is making her way down a rainy sidewalk when she spies a brain—a literal lump of gray matter—sitting forlornly in a puddle. The courtly cerebrum asks the little girl for help getting home, and as they walk along she worries that she’s not smart enough and asks for its help. The brain reassures her that each person learns and thinks differently—and that each person’s style has value.

Charming illustrations and a touching, accessible story teach children to respect whatever learning style they have—and several pages of complementary teaching material give parents and educators the background support they need in order to help children understand the wonderful individuality of their minds.
