Trying Theo and the How-To Hiccup: When Your Brain Knows What to Do but Your Body Needs Practice

Theo loves learning new things, but sometimes his brain hits a little hiccup when he tries something difficult. When things don't work right away, Theo feels frustrated and wonders if he should give up.

In Trying Theo and the How-To Hiccup, Theo learns that mistakes, confusion, and practice are all part of how the brain grows. With encouragement from the friends at the Busy Brain Café, he discovers that every attempt helps his brain build new pathways.

Through playful rhyme and encouraging storytelling, children learn that learning takes practice, patience, and courage... and that trying again is how the brain gets stronger.

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.
