We like to be happy, we like to feel nice — but taking care of our brain comes with a price!
Written by Dr. Danielle Marr | Illustrated by Felipe Matos
Bits in Your Brain is a fun introduction for kids (and parents, too!) to the neurochemicals in our brain that influence our moods. The book transforms complex neuroscience concepts into a playful visual journey, introducing the four main neurotransmitters — Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, and Endorphins — as charismatic, colorful characters who go on adventures throughout the human body.
From everyday scenes to creative visual metaphors, young readers will discover the "bits" sailing on a ship, working like a factory inside the brain, running in a park, and even getting sick from too much screen time. The illustrations balance education and fun, using vibrant colors, friendly geometric shapes, and settings that children recognize from their own lives.
