This book is a meticulously crafted guide designed to introduce children (and their parents/educators) to the fascinating world of neuroscience. It uses relatable analogies, personal anecdotes, interactive elements, and a friendly, conversational tone to demystify how the brain functions, focusing on brain chemistry, emotions, learning, and behavior.
This engaging guide is also available in Spanish, making brain science fun and accessible for a wider audience of young Spanish-speaking readers and their families.
Since introducing Lico's Collection's coloring guide, bedtime transformed from scrolling to a peaceful ritual. My seven-year-old whispers 'Color time?' and we breathe together while crayons glide. Screens dark, hearts lighter.
Coloring mandalas after dinner became our secret handshake. My teenage son relaxes, I unclench from work, and conversation flows like color across the page—no lectures, just presence.
I queue the audiobook, dim lights, and hand out printed mandalas. Within minutes the fourth-grade classroom settles into breathing, coloring, silence—a soft start that carries calm through the day.
Sunday mornings, my arthritic hands find rhythm shading petals beside my granddaughter. Pain quiets, stories surface, and our generations meet in gentle beautiful color rather than hurried conversation.
I introduced the workbook in our memory-care lounge; residents who seldom spoke began choosing hues and humming tunes. The room felt lighter, as if color itself opened a window.
During exam week I traded doom-scrolling for ten minutes of mandala coloring. The patterns steadied my breath; anxiety dissolved enough for me to actually focus on challenging equations again."
As a teacher, I'm always looking for resources that make complex topics accessible. How the Brain Works is a masterpiece. The 'neuron ninjas' and 'prefrontal cortex CEO' analogies have become part of our classroom language. My students now talk about their amygdala when they feel scared and understand why taking deep breaths helps. It's not just a science lesson; it's a tool for emotional literacy that empowers them daily—an invaluable addition to any bookshelf.
Finally, a book that answers the 'why' behind my son's emotions without being a dry textbook. The chapter on dopamine helped us create a better reward system for his chores, and the section on sleep sparked a conversation about a proper bedtime. He now proudly explains his 'hippocampus' when studying for tests. How the Brain Works didn't just teach him about his brain; it gave us a new, common language for our family conversations.
I frequently recommend How the Brain Works to the families I work with. It provides an accurate, neurobiological foundation for understanding behavior in a way that is engaging and destigmatizing. A young client struggling with anxiety found immense relief in learning about her amygdala and the 'fight or flight' response. The interactive exercises, such as the mood map, are practical tools that extend our therapy sessions into the home. It's a fantastic bridge between clinical science and a child's world.
