This was such a beautiful book. The illustrations are gorgeous, but the truly beautiful thing was the simple explanation of ADHD. I teared up reading this book because it 100% described what my daughter goes through at school. She is at an age now where the other kids are starting to alienate her because they do find her weird or different or whatever word they use for “not the same as us.” Having a book like this in classrooms would help other kids to understand children who have differences from them and maybe encourage a little more understanding and harmony. I think this is a must-have for every young elementary classroom!
I was provided a copy of the book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for my honest thoughts. All opinions stated are 100% my own.

My mission statement:
"I write for children to inspire imagination. It is my opinion, that imagination is one of the most underrated things we can impart to young minds. It can be used in all facets of life, no matter what age you are, as both a practical tool- and a necessary escape. Imagination encourages wonder... wonder leads to inventiveness... inventiveness leads to outside-of-the-box thinking... outside-of-the-box thinkers lead to creative problem solvers... and when life gets to be heavy and stresses pressure us down... imagination can lend a hand with that too. It can be a safe haven from the hardships of life... and a place of peaceful retreat for both mind and body. Imagination is priceless."
