Reviews

[Urban Mama · Rating 5 out of 5]

Written from the perspective of an elementary aged sister with a little brother who has ADHD. She processes her thoughts and feelings both positive and the negative about her brother. As the parents get treatment for the brother, the sister's understanding of ADHD educates the young reader who is presumably also a sibling of someone with ADHD and dealing with his or her own frustrations.

This books is one of few addressing the brothers and sisters of those with ADHD. 5 stars just for the author writing a book for the siblings to help them process some of their feelings.
