This is a picture book for kids with ADHD and their families. It follows a little girl, explaining how she thinks and feels and processes things. A great book to give children the tools to talk to their parents, teachers and others around them about why they are behaving in a certain way. The illustrations leave a little bit to be desired but I still thought this was a wonderful and informative book.
I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Purple Butterfly Press in exchange for an honest review.
At times I found the illustrations in this book quite frenetic which I guess is the point since the author is trying to convey what it is like to have ADHD. This book would be a great resource for kids, parents, and teachers to help them understand the feelings and thoughts that children with ADHD have.

Wonderful little book to help children with ADHD have a better understanding of themselves and their feelings. Helps them to see that they might have a different way of thinking that might make things more difficult but there are things that can help. Goes a long way to reassure a child that they are truly unique and valuable!! Builds the child's confidence as well!
As a parent with a child who has ADHD, I think that this book is brilliant for a young child who has just been diagnosed, or even younger siblings and peers to give them the understanding and a slight insight into what ADHD is and means fro their sibling or friend. The words that are used within the book are really positive and show how having ADHD can be a good thing and makes them a unique person! The illustrations are lovely as well and are bright and colourful making the book even more positive. I would be happy for my child with ADHD to read this book and will be reading it with him.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This is a fantastic book set out in a rhyming format for chikdren with ADHD to better understand what they have and why they are different to others, and also for children without ADHD to better understand children with ADHD.
I work in a class with 6 chikdren who have ADHD and they will love this book because it is so relateable to them! I cant wait to share it with them.
At the back of the book the author has provided two pages of information, one for children with ADHD and one for carers and parents, which are both very useful pieces of information and tips.
This book is everything. A really important book that everybody should read. It's so well writtend and explained.
"Sometimes my feelings go up and down, that's when my head spins round and round. Sometimes I think real fast, then I think real slow. I feel like at times I'm just going to blow!"
It'll help both kids and parents. Parents to understand a bit what's going on on their children's mind and the tips are the end of the books are really helpful. To kids to understand that they are not alone, that they are their own little wonder. I loved all the messages conveyed by these beautiful and colorful drawings!
I really, really enjoyed reading this book, and will be passing it on to my stepdaughter! Living with ADD myself, it has always been hard for me to watch the struggles that she goes through when her ADHD gets out of her control. This book really helps to show that not only is she not alone in her diagnoses, but that she can ultimately find ways to use her creative mind to succeed!
This was a sweet book of a girl narrating her experience as a child with ADHD. It does a good job of showing this particular girls’ experience but does not show how different children react or respond differently with ADHD.
