About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is on the verge of tears because they cannot master a new skill or when they say, I am just not good at this. It is a vital tool for shifting a child's perspective from fixed ability to growth potential. The story follows Alex, a relatable protagonist who feels defeated by challenges until he discovers the internal mechanics of his own brain. By visualizing the brain as a growing, changing landscape, the book helps children aged 5 to 9 understand that frustration is actually the sound of their brain getting stronger. It is an excellent choice for parents of neurodivergent children or those struggling with perfectionism, providing a scientific yet accessible vocabulary for resilience.
