Resource to Help Explain Brain Injuries to Kids

Jillian Pfennig suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2007 and was inspired by her experiences afterwards to create Brian The Brain Falls Down, a children’s book about the hardships people might experience after a TBI. Jillian’s hope is that Brian the Brain Falls Down can be the resource she wishes she had at the time of her TBI, helping survivors feel less alone throughout their recovery. The book is designed to aid brain injury survivors in explaining their feelings and frustrations in a way their loved ones can easily understand. And that those conversations lead to more TBI survivors getting the love and support they not only need, but deserve.
