Oh wow! I had no idea this book was so newly published. Stumbled upon it at the bookstore today while looking for “personal care” books for my little kid. We hadn’t acquired any books about ADHD *for kids* since getting her diagnosis earlier this year, and I knew the comic book style would appeal to her. I’m so glad I chose this one over other books focused more broadly on neurodiversity.
This book is delightful! I really want to thank the author. Both my child and I have diagnosed ADHD — her diagnosis this year, and mine a few years ago as an adult. I wish I had known this about myself 30+ years ago, and that the adults in my life had understood and believed the lovely, supportive stuff in this book. I may have teared up a few times while reading it 🥹 I’m glad things are much better now for adhd-ers, but there’s still plenty of ignorance and plenty of kids who could benefit from the ideas in this book.
It won’t enable you or your kid to immediately solve every struggle in life, but hey — nothing will. It’s a very kind and supportive read that covers a little bit of every topic I would have expected: neurodiversity in general, ADHD specifically, common traits, challenges and toolkits, medication (1 page), loving yourself, strategies for school and other areas of life, and a good recap at the end.
The illustrations are good and fun without being distracting, and the text is conversational without being too silly. I think the comic book style and reading level would appeal to elementary aged kids, maybe early middle school. Recommended!!
