Edward Hallowell A Walk in the Rain with a Brain
Each brain finds its own special way -- that's the message in this delightful, colorful story by a foremost expert on learning and childhood development. In A Walk In The Rain With A Brain, a little girl named Lucy is walking down a rainy sidewalk when she spies, of all things, a brain. Manfred, called Fred, is sitting forlornly in a puddle. The courtly cerebrum asks Lucy for help getting home, and as they walk along she worries that she's not smart enough. "Everyone's smart!" explains Fred. "You just need to find out at what!" Fred reassures her that each child learns and thinks differently and every child has special talents.
