My Whirling, Twirling Motor [hc]
Written by Merriam Sarcia Saunders & illustrated by Tammie Lyon [OH]
Charlie feels like he has a whirling, twirling motor running inside him all the time and sometimes he just can’t settle. When his mom wants to talk to him, he figures he’s in trouble… but she has a surprise for him instead! Includes a note to parents, caregivers, and teachers with more information on ADHD, behavior management, and helping children focus on the positives. 32 pages
"The story reinforces that [Charlie's] being overactive and impulsive is not intentional and does not make him bad. The young narrator eventually internalizes his parents’ focus on his accomplishments, rather than his challenges, and he wonders what positive things he will do tomorrow." -School Library Journal, Starred Review (Preschool-Grade 2)
