Book Review!

"Smarty the Brain stories," by Brian S. Hamilton

Before we get to the review, I think it's important to dive into the about the author part. Hamilton suffered a TBI when he was 24-years-old. As a result of his injury, he wrote this book and gives safety presentations to schoolchildren. As someone who has also suffered a TBI, I think this is a wonderful way to put a silver lining on a life-changing injury.

In this book, we meet Smarty the Brain and Moody the Brain. Each section of this book goes through various activities that children participate in, such as riding bikes, skiing, and baseball.

In the beginning of the story, Smarty uses appropriate safety gear for his activities, unlike Moody, who ends up getting hurt while riding his bike.

As the book progresses through activities, Smarty and Moody discuss which safety measures/equipment they need before they begin. They are able to have more fun and not get hurt, because they are prepared with their safety gear in advance.

I think this is a great book for kids, and parents, to raise awareness of safety equipment and general safe practices to put in place before beginning certain activities.

I'm looking forward to the next book, so we can see what Smarty and Moody have to learn about activities they will have when they are older, such as driving or dealing with winter weather.

I received a #gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

"Smarty the Brain stories," is now available in the LFL!

My human Dad frequently tells people that they chose me out of all my littermates because I had expressive eyebrow markings like my Dad "Creed".

A powder run is the closest feeling we can experience to flying.
