reflexes

Take a deep-dive into the universe that's inside each one of us, by exploring shared biology that people often don't take the time to appreciate, or understand. Heart, brain, eyes, blood, tears; uncover not only the science behind how the bodies work but how what's inside powers every moment of what is done out in the world. Personal profiles of people from around the globe become entry points into deeper stories about how the body's many systems function.

"Sometimes I feel something. It's hard to explain. It's not quite a feeling. It's not quite a pain. The things that I'm feeling make no sense in my brain! Sometimes our bodies send us signals that are hard to define and express. What do we do when we feel . . . hungry? When our arms are tingly and uncomfortable? When we have an itch? . . . introduces kids to the concept of interoception (the ability to understand the signals our body sends us). This book makes it easier for kids to identify and express those bodily signals--and have fun too"--Publisher.
