In a new book, neuroscientists Sam Wang and Sandra Aamodt detail how parents can help their children learn the ABCs and self-control. The book, Welcome to Your Child's Brain, explores how the human brain develops from infancy to adolescence.

Through striking and unexpected lenses, these three books give new life to my favorite foundations of Harry's literary magic.
