"An excellent resource for normalizing inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity in the school setting. Remi encapsulates the everyday struggles that many students will easily identify with. This book provides practical and feasible ideas for managing these challenges, providing an excellent set of resources to students, their family members, and their educators. I highly recommend a copy of this beautifully written and illustrated book for every elementary ssroom and school counseling office. " - Rebekah Cole, Ph.D., LPC, NCC
