All Kinds of Brilliant introduces children 6 to 12 to real people – from artists and inventors to poets, scientists and musicians – whose unique brain wiring helped them shape the world in extraordinary ways.
This is a project born from a desire to support children’s self-love and acceptance, as well as the role of educational settings in delivering historical knowledge and neuro-inclusivity in an engaging way. With bold illustrations, fun activities, and curious facts from history’s most original thinkers, each figure was chosen based on credible expert research.
I planned the content and structure, carried out the research, developed the storytelling, and produced all illustrations and design. The book was published in hardcover and paperback formats. I also set up a mini website where parents and teachers can learn more via a frequently asked questions section and download a teacher guide for free.
