You don't need a better brain. You need better tools. This book is a totally approachable road map to incorporating visual tools into your day-to-day, from sunrise to bedtime.

From the bestselling author-illustrator of the What Happens When... series and Nothing Stays the Same, but That’s Okay, comes an empowering guide to help kids and adults learn to manage their lives with actionable visual tools.

The "control center" is still developing in kids, and is struggling in neurodivergent adults, which is why everyday tasks like leaving the house, starting homework, or managing big emotions can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. 

Level Up isn't a traditional chapter book. It’s a practical, go-to reference guide created to help people gain confidence by layering visual tools and strategies into their daily routines. By walking people through their schedule from morning to night, it provides a functional tool for every single part of their day. This helps close the gap between where they are and where they want to be, building executive functioning skills for life.

What's covered inside:

• Daily Routines: Smooth mornings, leaving the house on time, chores, and bedtime prep.
• School & Homework: Getting started on a task, switching between activities, and tracking schoolwork.
• Big Feelings: Managing high or low energy levels, navigating intense emotions, and practicing self-compassion.
• Advanced Skills: Time management, prioritizing tasks, and choosing the right systems.

Whether you are looking for a way to get out the door in the morning with less stress, support a student with neurodiversity (ADHD/ADD), or help an elementary schooler build independent habits, this book provides kids with a blueprint to take control of their own success.
