Give a child the gift of understanding — this heartfelt picture book brings ADHD to life through the eyes of a real kid who lives it every day.

Meet Annabelle — she loves to draw and play her ukulele, and she also has Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). My Life with ADHD is an illustrated narrative nonfiction picture book that follows Annabelle's real experiences, written for elementary-age readers who are naturally curious about differences and disabilities. Annabelle isn't defined by her ADHD, but she does some things a little differently — and this book invites children to learn about her world with openness and empathy.

Real Stories, Real Kids: Annabelle is a real person, making her experiences relatable and authentic for young readers navigating their own understanding of neurodiversity.
Builds Empathy and Inclusion: Includes practical tips for kids on how to interact with and support someone who has ADHD, encouraging kindness and connection in classrooms and communities.
Accessibility by Design: Beautiful full-colour illustrations paired with a dyslexic-friendly font ensure this book is welcoming and readable for a wide range of learners.
Curriculum-Ready Nonfiction: Written in an engaging narrative nonfiction style, My Life with ADHD is perfectly suited for classroom use, library collections, and social-emotional learning discussions.
