behind how you make sense of the world around you. You’ll discover how you pick up clues from your environment and how those observations become messages for your brilliant brain to interpret and fill in the blanks - all at lightning speed - to form your perception. Kid-friendly text from two expert psychologists along with cheerful art provides an in-depth look at how it all comes together.
