“This book offers a gentle look at neurodiversity and, eventually, finding one’s place in the world. It’s about accepting that everyone is unique and that standing apart from whatever is considered ‘normal’ has its own rewards.”
Books + Publishing
<i>The Incredibly Busy Mind of Bowen Bartholomew Crisp</i> is the loveliest picture book by Paul Russell and Nicky Johnston. It sounded good before I had it here to read, but it’s miles better in every way now that I have read it.
Book Witch
Created from the personal experience of both writer and illustrator, this magical book is designed to encourage a deeper understanding and awareness … about the different neurological pathways in the brains of children. Stunning in every way.
Kids’ Book Review
This is a fantastic resource for parents and teachers to share with children and show that there is more than one way of viewing the world. Seeing the world differently is to be celebrated. For children who think differently like Bowen the book will be reassuring, and for all children it will encourage them to exercise their minds, be inquisitive, and see things from new perspectives. Adults and children will have fun thinking of wild and imaginative answers to Bowen’s way-out questions.
NZ Booklovers
