Here’s what people are saying about Hi, It’s Me, I Have ADHD.

Hi, It’s Me! I Have ADHD is a powerful reminder that ADHD is not something you are—it’s something you have and can do what you want with.
- Children’s Book Review 

 

This is a fantastic book set out in a rhyming format for children with ADHD to better understand what they have and why they are different from others, and also for children without ADHD to better understand children with ADHD. I work in a class with 6 children who have ADHD and they will love this book because it is so relatable to them! I can't wait to share it with them. At the back of the book, the author has provided two pages of information, one for children with ADHD and one for carers and parents, which are both very useful pieces of information and tips.

This book is a wonderful resource for teachers, guidance counselors, caregivers, and of course, young children navigating their ADHD!
