My Busy Builder Brain: A Story About Autism and Sam's Builder Brain - Paperback

by Thais Freitas (Author), Fatima Kaleem (Illustrator)

What if your brain worked like a busy construction site?

Meet Sam, a curious 7-year-old whose mind is always busy building. Cranes are lifting, bulldozers are moving, and ideas are everywhere.

Through a warm and engaging construction-site metaphor, My Busy Builder Brain helps children understand autism in a positive, age-appropriate way. Along the way, readers discover why loud sounds can feel overwhelming, why routines matter, how special interests bring joy, and why every brain builds the world a little differently.

Perfect for families, classrooms, libraries, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, school counsellors, and anyone looking to help children understand autism with kindness, empathy, and acceptance.

Perfect for children ages 4-8, My Busy Builder Brain is ideal for:

- Helping children understand autism in a positive way

- Starting conversations about inclusion and neurodiversity

- Building empathy and kindness

- Home reading and bedtime stories

- Classroom read-alouds and inclusive education

- School and public libraries

Because every brain builds something amazing.
