Explore the wonderful workings of your brilliant BRAIN with award-winning writer Dr Roopa Farooki.

Every second of every day, something is happening in every tiny bit of your body, from the top of your head to the soles of your feet... And if you think of your body as a machine, your BRAIN would be the control room, with billions of buttons and levers for all kinds of important jobs. With words by medical doctor and writer of acclaimed memoir Everything Is True, Roopa Farooki, and pictures by award-winning artist Viola Wang, this book explores how different bits of the brain work and (just as importantly) how they work TOGETHER... As well as sharing handy tips for looking after your brain!

"Straightforward and intriguing, filled with bright illustrations, this introduction to the brain ... is perfect for reading aloud to children." The Guardian
