ADHD Adventures

In the classroom, at home and on the baseball field, some kids are wiggly and distracted and all the things that make kids awesome and challenging. For the same kid, when he reads, his body is quiet and he is calm. Inspired by Harold And The Purple Crayon (Crockett Johnson) and Dav Pilkey…this book is the story of a boy whose body and brain works this way: The Boy Who Got Stuck Inside A Book. Between the pages, he discovers the power of origami to fold a few new adventures: he rides the rapids, fights a dragon, flies to the moon and returns home to bed. In his dreams, his body is quiet and his mind wiggles. When he gets stuck inside a book, it is wonderful…and it is what makes him not at all ordinary and better because of it. The second book in this series is about a girl who loves to draw and when she sits down with a piece of paper or in front of a white wall her body is quiet and her brain is calm and she dreams big: The Girl Who Drew A Better Bee World. For parents and kids who are ADHD or might be or for kids whose brain or body work in unexpectedly delightful ways. Each book is ~300 words that unlock a world of focused and un-focused adventure.
