My Brain, My Body and Me: The Inside Story

My Brain, My Body, and Me: The Inside Story is a beautifully illustrated picture book that helps children understand the inner workings of their brain and body in a playful, empowering way. Through the story of Alex and their Brain-Body Crew, young readers learn how to navigate big feelings, sensory overload, and everyday challenges using kid-friendly language and powerful self-regulation tools.

Created by pediatric occupational therapist Dr. Carol Leibovich-Mankes, this book supports emotional awareness, self-regulation, and self-confidence in children especially those who are neurodivergent, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed. Whether read at home, in therapy, or in the classroom, it opens the door to meaningful conversations about body awareness, sensory differences, learning challenges, and inner strength.

Perfect for ages 5-9, this empowering resource features:

• Simple, child-friendly explanations of brain-body functions
• Playful metaphors and inclusive language to build self-understanding and confidence
• A bonus section with reflection questions and caregiver tips to deepen connection and practical use

Ideal for parents, educators, therapists, and caregivers who want to nurture whole-child wellness in a fun, developmentally appropriate, and neurodiversity-affirming way.

My Brain, My Body, and Me helps every child feel seen, understood, and proud to be the captain of their own ship.
