Hi, It’s Me! I Have ADHD
Written by: Katelyn Mabry
Illustrated by: J. Charles Friedel
A perfect story to introduce or continue a positive conversation about ADHD.
A few years ago I read this to my 2nd grade students. When I held up the book, a student with ADHD yelled, “HEY! I HAVE THAT!” He was so excited. All children should be able to see themselves in books.
Also check out, “Journey with me through ADHD – a podcast for kids” for helpful strategies and important conversations.

A great selection of books. I love alliteration though I can remember getting tongue tied when reading to my niece and nephew.
