A comic-style introduction to brains and neurodiversity

Elise Gravel’s illustrated nonfiction book connects basic information about how brains work with the idea that people think, feel, and learn in different ways. Its focus on human neurology gives the book a science component, while its discussion of understanding differences brings in themes of self-knowledge and connection with others. The comic-style presentation and humor make those subjects accessible for a young audience, with an emphasis on valuing varied ways of thinking.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids curious about the human brain and how it works
  • Young readers exploring neurodiversity and different ways of thinking
  • Families, teachers, and librarians seeking a book to discuss brain differences together

Book overview

A seriously funny book all about our brains! Award-winning author-illustrator Elise Gravel celebrates the many wonderful ways humans think in a comic-style nonfiction book for curious kids.


Acclaimed creator Elise Gravel (Killer Underwear Invasion!, Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere, and many more) uses her trademark humor and punchy art to explore the fascinating human brain.

Though all our brains look the same, every brain works differently. This Is My Brain! shows readers that understanding how different brains feel and learn can help us connect with others . . . and keep our own brains happy! Through humorous, engaging text and brightly colored art, readers are introduced to the fundamentals of how our brains work, how our unique neurology influences how we think and act, and how the world is a better place when we understand each other's brains and use them collectively.

BRAINS ARE COOL: Whether it's a fascination with the way brains look or how they work, kids enjoy learning about the human body, specifically the brain!

UNDERSTANDING NEURODIVERSITY: Neurodiversity is something we are hearing more and more about. Parents and teachers are realizing the importance of helping kids understand that thinking differently is normal and that it is important for each of us to embrace our own brain's uniqueness as well as value alternative ways of thinking by others. This is an excellent resource for exploring the topic together.

HUMOROUS NONFICTION: While the subject is serious, the funny text and pictures will tickle any reader's funny bone. Elise Gravel's distinctive comic-style art and unique talent for explaining complicated information in simple and hilarious ways make this science-based topic accessible to all.

Perfect for:
  • Parents, teachers, and librarians looking for books on neurodiversity
  • Kids interested in learning about the brain
  • Readers who enjoy science and STEM books like The Way We Work, Ultimate Bodypedia, and Super Interesting Facts for Smart Kids
  • Fans of Elise Gravel and her funny graphic novel-style picture books
