Elizabeth Arkward Newton, the youngest of eight children; she was born in Lyndhurst, Virginia and raised in the valley of the Afton Mountains. Her primary and secondary education was in the public school systems of Albemarle and Nelson Counties. High school education was provided by the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament at Saint Francis De Sales (Castle on the James River) in Powhatan, Virginia. Saint Francis De Sales was an all girls’ prep-high school founded by Saint Katharine Drexel in 1891 for disadvantaged African American and Indian girls. The school was designed to promote dignity, self-respect and a high degree of Christian education.

This book is about a little boy who had no desire to use his brain, unless it had some connection to his make-believe world. He complained that he did not know how to dress himself or how to put on his coat. It was even harder to put his shoes on the right feet or to button his shirt up correctly. On top of all that, his mother expected him to brush his hair and to brush his teeth. He wished God had given him extra toy instead of a brain. Using his brain took too much time away from his make-believe world. Therefore, he wished he did not have a brain. He was convinced that he would be fine without a brain.

“A Peculiar Story of a Boy Who Hated Thinking Will Help Your Children Enjoy Learning More

Children’s formative years are extremely important in determining their overall potential performance. Their relationship with their parents and their first learning experiences can have a significant impact on their growth. Diverse learning tools can significantly assist them in discovering new things as well as assisting parents in determining which approach is best for their child. However, in molding the cognitive function of a child, letting them do things on their own is the best way to stimulate learning.

Elizabeth Arkward Newton will teach children the fun of thinking through the story of a boy who refused to use his brain. In her book, “The Little Boy Who Wished God Had Not Given Him a Brain,” we will follow the story of Christopher, who was called Cous by his family.

Cous enjoys doing a lot of things; playing, eating, and traveling to his world of make-believe. Unfortunately, thinking or using his brain is not one of them. He finds thinking too bothering that it even got to a point where he wished God had not given him a brain. He likes attention too much, and he figured out that one way to do it is to act like a baby. With the arrival of a younger sister, his attitude became a problem for his parents.

Will his parents ever find a way to correct his attitude? What transformation awaits Cous during a visit to Big Momma, his loving grandma?
