A Walk in the Rain with a Brain is written by Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. This book is designed for four (read to) to eight year olds.
Children do not receive enough encouragement to develop their own unique talents, skills and attitudes. Dr. Hallowell's book, A Walk in the Rain With a Brain reinforces the important message that no brain is smarter than the other. Everyone is born with a brain and everyone can learn with their brain. The exceptional illustrations by Bill Mayer are richly drawn in a cartoon manner that young children will be attracted too as well.
The story's central character is a girl named Lucy who discovers a brain on the ground named Manfred (Fred for short) as she plays outside in the rain. Lucy asks Fred to make her smart. "Everyone's smart," Fred told her, "You just need to find out at what."
Fred tells Lucy about the time that his other brain friends used to feel they weren't smart but you'll have to read the story to find out what happened.
This imaginary tale is delightful and can be a helpful teaching guide for parents and teachers with its fact based discussion guide in the back of the book. Hallowell writes that with proper guidance every child can develop to the fullest of the talents that they are born with. Hallowell says "Not all kids know that brains run the show."
