Say "Hello" to Billie the Brain! Learn about your brain from a superstar friend! Billie teaches us what she's made of, how she works, how doctors and others help her when she's sick, and how to keep her healthy.

Rhyming text, fun illustrations, "brainy" facts and simple yet scientifically accurate diagrams are also ideal for STEM education. Winner of a Moonbeam Children's Book Awards Gold Medal.
