Summary

Every second of every day, something is happening in even the tiniest parts of your body, from head to toe. And if you think of your body as a machine, your brain would be the control room, with millions of buttons and levers for all kinds of important jobs. With an enthusiastic and warmly humorous text, medical doctor Roopa Farooki familiarizes kids with terms like cerebellum and brain stem along with the workings of the nervous system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, the limbic system, and more. With colorful illustrations by award-winning artist Viola Wang, The Brilliant Brain explores not only how different parts of the brain work, but also how they work together. An author's note suggests handy tips for keeping your own brain healthy.
