Buddy the Brain - Paperback

"Buddy the Brain" is an engaging, educational book that helps start the conversation with children to understand where the brain is, what it does, how to take care of it, and how someone may feel if a brain injury occurs. It is a must-have book for elementary educators, families with young children, and pediatric medical providers, including therapists. Good health starts with great education!

This book is mindfully designed to be more accessible, so that it is easier to read for someone who has sustained a brain injury. The illustrations are engaging for children, yet not too busy or visually overstimulating. The font is large, clear, and always on a solid background, making it more visible than if it was on top of illustrations. So, if you need to explain to a child about a brain injury that you are navigating, this book is an ideal option for you. If you want braille or ASL, please email me at arheaume10@gmail.com .

Speech Language Pathologist, Cognitive Health Coach, and Certified Brain Injury Specialist Taryn Barlow says "This book is an essential resource that thoughtfully blends neuroscience and compassion, equipping families and therapists to help young readers understand their brains and feel confident in the healing possibilities after brain injury."
