The Kid with the Kaleidoscope Brain

The Kid with the Kaleidoscope Brain
by JJ

Dedication

For the kids who feel too much,
see too much,
or don’t know how to say it yet—
your mind is a galaxy, and you are not alone.
And for Cammi, who reminded me why stories like this matter.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


THANK YOU TO the parents who stay patient, the teachers who wait a little longer, and the siblings who stand by.
