What a brilliant and important book to build self-esteem and confidence in children with ADHD! It's so important to know that others share the same challenges and strengths as we do. This will help kids feel less different, more understood and part of a 'tribe', as well as busting stigma and spreading knowledge about the condition. The characters are so relatable. What a warm, lively and fabulous book. An utter delight to support both children with ADHD, and their families. -- Michelle Beckett, Founder, ADHD Action
This book provides such a warm and child-friendly understanding of ADHD, useful for children and adults who support them such as teachers, social workers and even their parents. It really shows just how hard children with ADHD try and teaches them that they can still succeed! The voice of the child is so important. They need to be heard. This book gives them that voice. I'm so glad that this book shows that people with ADHD can be very different, even if they all have the same condition. -- Andrea Bilbow OBE, Founder & CEO, ADDISS
