Wanted: All types of brains

All Brains Welcome: Embracing ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and More by Johanna Peyton and Olga Popova

May 15, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The picture book All Brains Welcome: Embracing ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and More by Johanna Peyton and illustrator Olga Popova is not perfect, but close as it strongly introduces neurodivergent brain types in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner. We learn about 12 different types of situations a brain, and therefore its human, can deal with. It also includes neurotypical brains as just “part of the spectrum” of wonderful brain types.

(Hope she’ll still be speaking to me after she reads this). In the fairy tale kingdom of The Blue Mountains, the king and queen try for many years, but the queen fails to have any living children. She encounters a witch who calls herself the Queen of Bees, who offers her a solution to her difficulties. […]
