All too often children with ADHD feel as if the focus is always on correcting or highlighting the negative behaviors associated with having ADHD. As an educator and a mom with a child who has ADHD, I wanted to bring acceptance to certain attributes of having ADHD. "My Special Mind" is a book all children can relate too. ADHD can be fun, exciting, and adventurous. An ADHD mind is a special mind. "My Special Mind" is a great reminder of how special everyone's mind truly is. My son and I embarked on this special project, where he takes the reader on a journey inside the mind of ADHD. Buckle up, an 8 year old's mind is definitely an interesting place to be!"My mind is always with me, thinking, and creating fun things to do and see. That's what's so special about me".

Friendship — to be known, to be accepted as you are, to feel safe, especially when you are vulnerable. The girl in this story has recently arrived in Brooklyn with her family. On her very first day at school she meets a girl who almost instantly becomes her very best friend. She feels known, loved and accepted by her. But when she invites her friend to come for dinner with her family — a family that feels free to eat weird food and, even worse, burst into song with their version of a sentimental classic of longing and homesickness — something shifts and she no longer feels safe at all. What will it be like tomorrow at school?Award-winning illustrator Alfonso Ruano’s art beautifully depicts the depth of feeling that the friends experience in this story from acclaimed author and translator Elisa Amado, about how difficult it is to come from somewhere else and what a difference friendship can make.
