About this item

by George McCloskey (Author), Rebecca Doran (Illustrator), Laurie McCloskey (Author)

One morning, Frankie forgets to put the frontal lobes of his brain into his head. Keep in mind, Frankie isn't your average human boy! What could possibly go wrong . . .Spend the day with Frankie as he discovers just how important that part of our brain really is! It all comes to a head when a day that started out pretty bad gets decidedly worse! But help is on the way and Frankie gets a crash course on frontal lobes that blows his mind!

Hang out with Frankie as he learns how self-regulation helps us "run our own show!"Using whimsical characters and humorous illustrations, this engaging story teaches elementary school-age children about how we use our frontal lobes (specifically, the prefrontal cortex) each day. Educators and parents are becoming more familiar with terms such as executive functions, self-regulation, and social-emotional learning. Frankie's story brings these concepts to life for children and the questions for each chapter open the door to meaningful discussions.

This entertaining and educational story is written from a growth mindset perspective and reminds us all that everyone's brain is a work in progress!
