Brains Aren’t Scary

Brains! Ewww! 

Wait a minute, brains aren’t scary! 

Brains are amazing! 

Did you know, your brain is pink, like a pig?  

And weighs three pounds like a small pumpkin? 

Did you know your brain never stops working… even when you’re asleep?  

Your brain sends messages to your body… 

To blink… 

And jump… 

And run!

Your brain helps you learn… 

And make good choices! 

Your brain makes you YOU!
