Memory Molly and the Wandering Thoughts: How to Hold Onto Information and Stay on Track

Inside Cortex Castle lives Molly, the keeper of the brain's "mental sticky notes." Molly helps the brain hold ideas just long enough to use them. But sometimes thoughts wander, steps get mixed up, and Molly's notes slip away.

In Memory Molly and the Wandering Thoughts, Molly discovers that working memory has limited space, and that helpful tools like checklists, repeating steps, and visual reminders can help thoughts stay put.

Through playful rhyme and imaginative storytelling, children learn that forgetting in the moment doesn't mean they aren't smart. It simply means their brain is still learning how to hold and organize information.

Plus, every book includes bonus learning material: a Teacher and Parent Guide, kid-friendly explainers, 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.
