Today we kick off the blog book tour for Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch It, Shape It by JoAnn Deak Ph.D. and illustrated by Sarah Ackerley. This innovative and timely picture book is a fun and engaging way to teach children that they have the ability to stretch and grow their own brains.
Our first host is pal, Susan Tweit, at her fabulous Walking Nature Home blog. Susan is an environmentalist and nature writer, and has met a lot of challenges in the past year related to the brain. Her husband Richard experienced two brain surgeries, and her mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. To say Susan has a lot on her mind related to brains is truly an understatement. Please jump over to her blog to read her review of Your Fantastic Elastic Brain and to see what she and Richard, a sculptor himself, have to say about neuro-sculpting and other topics covered in the book. This is a blog you'll want to bookmark to read more of Susan's environmental insights as well as just to experience her elegant writing. There's also a book drawing over there for a copy of the book that you won't want to miss.

It amazes me to look at all those books and realize they were printed last year. You should be proud of that accomplishment! Gives me goosebumps.
Thank you for providing us some context for today's gracious BBT host, Dani. Now off to Walking Nature Home to see what Susan has to say about YFEB!
That looks like a great prize. I hope you have a ton of visitors!
With my first grandchild due in April, this would be a wonderful collection of books to share with him (yes, they say it'll be a boy!). Congratulations on a successful year at Little Pickle Press, Dani.
Dani, Thanks for the lovely intro to my blog, and my post. Congrats on kicking off another successful blog book tour!
Your Fantastic Elastic Brain is timely as we all pray & wait to see how Rep. Giffords recovers from the attack on her brain.
The blog post on Susan Tweit's blog, Walking Nature Home, was wonderful! I wish there were a way to comment at the bottom b/c I would have written how inspiring her words are, and how her super sense of lightness brought the book Your Fantastic Elastic Brain into perfect focus. It's a pithy anatomy lesson, with a fantastic sense of humor. I loved her post!
I agree Dani, to look at all of these books and realize they are all published in the past year! Amazing. Great post on the newest book! Everyon needs to read this book...and then share it!
