Timothy Thalamus and the Traffic Tower: How Your Brain Sorts and Routes Information - Paperback

by Maisel McLaula (Author), Maisel McLaula (Illustrator)

When everything tries to rush right in, Timothy chooses what gets in.

Up in the Traffic Tower, Timothy Thalamus watches signals race toward the brain. Sounds honk. Lights flash. Touches tap. Thoughts crowd the gate all at once.

Timothy flips signals like a pro. Green light, go. Yellow light, slow. Red light, wait. Some signals move through right away. Others pause their engines. A few are waved off until later, not because they are wrong, but because the brain needs space to breathe.

Follow along as traffic thins, lanes clear, and the rush settles. Timothy's story leaves kids with a steady feeling. The brain has a way to handle the noise, guiding attention where it matters most and keeping overwhelm from piling up.
