Grandma has two watering cans which she takes with her to the greenhouse everyday.
One watering can is shiny, new, proud and perfect in every way, but the other one is old and leaky and would arrive at the greenhouse half empty.
The old watering can is ashamed of its leak, but when Grandma points out why she’s kept it all these years, the watering can realises that it has its own, very important purpose.

Louise Royston-Smith currently works as a picture book assistant for Campbell Books living on the outskirts of London. When she’s not sketching in a park or experimenting with her art materials, you might find her enjoying a dog walk or rummaging through a charity shop with a coffee in her hand.
Louise hopes her illustrations will evoke feelings of nostalgia and bring a sense of warmth and playfulness to reading for children and adults alike.
The Neurons looks at six common neurodiverse conditions, what causes them and how they affect people with the condition.

Each Neuron book looks at one condition in detail using playful characterisations of neurons, the human brain and central nervous system as well as six children with the conditions. A fun, educational and accessible selection of titles, these six books offer a simple route for young children to understand what is happening to them and why.
Each book will also contain crucial condition specific information, for example the epilepsy book covers seizures and the Tourette syndrome book covers tics. They also offer a positive reflection of each condition by including several examples of how the conditions have a positive impact on the children’s lives as well as how they can make them more challenging.
