I really liked the idea behind this book and that the book has a focus on ADHD and the main character having glow magic.

The illustrations were nice but I did find them a little dark and would have preferred brighter ones to give the story more of a positive feeling as for me darker images can be a negative.

The story was ok to follow and it can be used as a great talking point but I am not sure that the wording is right for the age range, my daughter falls within this and she wasn't a huge fan of the book but it did help her understand what ADHD is a little more as she has a few children in her class at school that have this - they are generally naughty and disruptive (her words) so it was good for her to understand a bit more about why as school hasn't done so.

The message at the end of the book was positive and I loved the words used with the ADHD letters.

It is 3.5 stars from me for this one, rounded up to 4 stars for Goodreads and Amazon - highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was such a cute book!

I absolutely loved reading this book with my little one and having a fun and intriguing way to help explain what ADHD is and the personality traits of those who have it.

This children's book was able to cover a topic very well, but using fun bug changes, relatable content, and language that works for all.

• Mental Health Representation

I highly suggest you pick this one up for children and adults of all ages! Available through paperback on Amazon.

The illustrations were nice but not our favorite style.
We love the ADHD representation but the story plot fell a bit short for us.
The narrative could be a bit more exciting and engaging.

Jellypie, Firefly is a picture book about a firefly called Jellypie who is happy in its own exoskeleton.
The bright, vibrant and freshly designed digital illustrations are eye-catching and fortunately very good since digital picture books often do not look unique and original.
Jellypie walks us through its/their/his/her life, their strengths, hobbies, differences and what makes them unique. They have ADHD and this is an excellent representation.
Had the story had more plot points and layers, a few more engaging beats, this would have been a 5 star read for us.
It is a great example of narrative therapy, and younger children are a perfect audience for this book.
I highly recommend it.
