Olly Occipital & The Lookout Tower: How Your Brain Helps You See the World - Paperback

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

Meet Olly Occipital, the brain helper who turns light into sight.

In Olly Occipital & The Lookout Tower, children discover how the brain helps us see shapes, colors, and movement, and what happens when the visual world gets too busy. From overwhelmed and dizzy to calm and focused, Olly learns that seeing clearly takes filtering, focus, and rest.

Through playful rhyme and imaginative storytelling, young readers learn that seeing is more than just using their eyes. The brain organizes what we look at so the world becomes clear and understandable. It is part of the Think Like a Brain!(TM) Collection, a story-first series that turns real neuroscience into friendly characters children can recognize in themselves.

Plus, every book includes bonus learning material: a Teacher and Parent Guide, a kid-friendly "What Is the Occipital Lobe?" explainer, discussion starters, hands-on visual activities, and curated resources, giving grown-ups simple, science-backed ways to keep the learning going long after the last page.
