SLJ Review of Brainpower

Answer the question of what is going on inside a person’s brain when they feel strong emotions by looking at each in- dividually and talking through the experiences, both chemical and biological. The families and children depicted across these titles come from diverse backgrounds. Most importantly, the language used provides words for families to describe what they are feeling more precisely and understand each emotion more fully. With the included tips for caregivers and goals for processing emo- tions, the aim of these titles is demonstrated to be empowerment through understanding of oneself. VERDICT Outstanding choice not only for its inclusion of diverse families but also for the content that gives families the vocabulary for dealing with emotional wellness.
