Facing something fearsome is best done together. This is a delightful book with a strong lesson.
The illustrations by Udayana Lugo are delightful, imaginative, clear, and colorful.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, and even to a school or teacher or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Orca Book Publishers via NetGalley. Thank you!

This Is Your Brain on Stereotypes is a unique non-fiction novel aimed towards kids.

Books like these are what I needed during my childhood. I wanted to read non-fiction, but interesting ones! Reading the same one about bears or plants got tiring, so having a book like this would have made me jump with joy!

This is a middle grade novel that's probably closer to grade four and up. There is lots of information packed tight in this book, so I wouldn't necessarily leave it only in children's fiction. It's definitely a chapter book and goes into some rich and deep subjects. I can easily see middle grade readers pick this book up! Even educators and parents teaching their kids - in a time like right now (you know, the whole pandemic thing), books like this could help with learning, especially if kids are interested in unique topics like this one.

There is many facts scattered throughout this book. Honestly, it's like a little textbook but way more fun and better pictures. For example, my home country Canada is called out early in the book for First Nations reserves receiving less money for children's expenses for government and health care. The stereotyping problem is a big reason why some communities have social issues. This book tries to explain and find a way to eliminate it and show children the issues with stereotyping.

Stereotyping is described in easy to understand ways and then it leads into a topic of deception. Definitions, examples and history is taught throughout this book. Eager learns will absolutely love it (and man, did I ever love it! I love learning! And children's books have way better pictures). Comments are brought up, like would a young girl see herself as a math teacher if we only stereotyped nerdy white men to that role. Honestly, this book is smart and makes you think, I love it! This book even goes into Rwanda's history. There's so much packed into this little book! So much history, facts, research and commentary!

Honestly, I adore this book. It's smart and a great way to learn!

Five out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

The Best Way to Get Your Way doesn't sound like a book you want to give your children, right? Wrong! It is a very informative book about the art of debating, teaching children or anyone: how debate competitions work, how lawyers often present court cases, how presidential debates are handled, and more. It is not a boring non-fiction, educational book. The aspects of debate, including the topic or resolution, opening statement, rebuttal, and closing arguments, are presented in a fun format, using issues close to a pre-teen or teenager's heart - chores, screen time, eating vegetables, bedtime, and homework. The simulated debates are entertaining and are presented by fabricated young people in the manner their counterparts might debate the subjects. The book does not just teach about debating techniques. The debates themselves are informational, and the book discusses compromise, fallacies, and biases, among other things. Chanelle Nibbelink has added quirky, colorful illustrations to the text. This book by Tanya Lloyd Kyi is a spectacular tool for teaching that arguing does not have to mean nagging or whining. Arguments may be presented in a less stressful form. After reading this, your child might decide to join their school's debate team!
Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the ARC of this book.

I try to read non-fiction and graphic novels as well as, my favorite, fiction! I've always been fascinated by sleep and read everything on it because I've struggled with insomnia since college. I was excited to get this book in and read it immediately!

Even though there are only 5 chapters plus a conclusion, it doesn't feel like it has chapters. Every page has a concept, so you don't feel overwhelmed with science that goes on and on for pages and pages. They take sleep all the way back in time as well as go to places where the sun cannot dictate sleep patterns (sun is up all day or it's dark all day). The scientists learned that our circadian rhythms are really hard to break. Our bodies know when to sleep; we just don't listen. Some would say that sleep doesn't matter; they get by on less than 5 hours a night and haven't had any issues. Many diseases link back to the lack of sleep. Sleep is the time for the body to heal. It's not something to be conquered or your body will conquer you! It needs respect.

As a middle school librarian, I found the information about teenagers interesting. As a lifelong morning person, I find the idea of beginning school late in the day a terrible idea. The day is halfway over. Teenagers do, indeed, stay up late; however, their brains don't turn off until later than any other age group ("teens produce melatonin later in the evening than children of adults" (15)), which is why sleep specialists advocate for a late start for high school students. Another finding that was interesting involves learning. If one learns something and sleeps on it, the person learns it better and remembers it the next day. I am surprised because I lack thoughts in the evening and it takes me longer to do everything at night because I'm ready to go to sleep!

Read the book to learn about the history of the science of sleep. Sleep is important! You might want to read in the evenings so that you remember it! Make those zzzzs a priority!
