A Walk in the Rain with a Brain is the illustrated version of a special story Edward M. Hallowell, M.D. shares during his lectures on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. In it, a little girl named Lucy is making her way down a rainy sidewalk when she spies, of all things, a brain -- Manfred, called Fred -- 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 that every child has special talents. A Walk in the Rain with a Brain is a very reassuring and entertaining book for children between the ages of 4 and 8. Read more here!
