The Song in Toby's Head

By Karen Brand

Toby is a bright, curious boy with a big imagination, and sometimes his ideas sparkle so loudly they feel impossible to ignore. When something catches his eye, like his brother's chocolate bar or a glittery ruler at school, a voice in his head sings, "Do it, do it, doo it . . ." His feet move before his brain can catch up, leaving him with mixed feelings afterward.

Then Toby meets Annie, who listens with understanding instead of blame. She offers him new tools: a shiny card with the words "STOP, THINK, ACT," and a wishlist board where Toby can keep track of the things that call to him. With these supports, Toby discovers that his sparkly ideas are part of who he is, and that he can choose different ways to respond.

This is a story about celebrating curiosity, honouring how different brains work, and growing strategies that help children feel capable and understood.
