ADHD and Me - Tapa dura

Críticas

"I absolutely loved this story told from 8 year old Malory's point of view. She describes what having ADHD means to her, how it affects how she interacts with others, and how it affects her at school. As an educator who sees children go through these exact situations nearly every single day - being sent to the office when they are 'too much to handle', medicine making them feel yucky, etc. - I can't wait to share this story with those children and let them know that yes, they are unique, but that does not mean they are alone."

"This book is a jewel! The illustrations, the content, the prose. All beautiful. The content is so spot on that really touched my heart. It was like reading my own experiences as a child. How it was hard to concentrate at school, how I kept getting in trouble... " DRAGONFLY

"I am an adult with ADHD and this really speaks to me. It gives an accurate description of what it feels like to have ADHA as a child. The bad to the really bad and the good that that positive support can produce. I would highly recommend this for everyone to read. Not just for children that have ADHD but friends, classmates, relatives and parents of children with ADHD..." AMANDA

"As a parent to three children with ADHD and autism, I loved this sweet, simple story. The illustrations were precious and added to the tranquil but informative mood the story creates. It's a book that I think many children, especially children like mine, would enjoy because they can relate to Malory's and her family's experiences." BRANDIE WILEY

"The storybook format works for younger kids, and offers them a clear but gentle way to understand why they are sometimes treated a little different from other children at school or have trouble relating to other kids. Being pulled out of class, managing medications, and learning to let a label empower vs limit them is hard for a child to understand. This book breaks it down into a simple narrative and shows a child that there are other children like them. It is wonderful to see complex issues presented in a fun way that kids can relate to..."

"One thing I really appreciate about this book, is that there are not many books that are told from the child's perspective. A lot of people may not feel that ADHD is a big deal, but to the children who do face this, it can seem like a big deal to them. This book is a wonderful resource for kids, and instills a hopeful message..." ISABELLA TRAPP

"What I appreciate about this book is Malory's awareness about her challenges and what causes them. The author has not only discussed Malory's feelings and worries but those of the parents as well... I would put this book in the category of easy reader and encourage not only children with challenges to read this book but any child. Giving children the knowledge of what it is like to struggle through each day is a good teacher of compassion." LIBRARY_GEEK

"As my 5 year old grandson has recently been diagnosed with ADHD I decided to request ADHD And Me. Chelsea conveys the child's emotions perfectly, from being misunderstood by her class mates and some of her teaches to the turmoil her parents go through. A beautiful and heartfelt insight into the mind of a child. Highly recommended read." STEVEN MCDONALD

"My name is Malory, I'm 8 years old, and I have ADHD. ADHD is short for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. It can mean different things for different kids. My mom says that it's part of what makes me special. She says that because of it, I am unique. Being unique means that you are one of a kind. That doesn't mean that I'm alone though..."
