Publisher's Synopsis
Little Timmy Mitchell is a lively youngster with an ocean-sized heart who lives in the busy town of Willowbrook. He also has an insatiable curiosity. Under his exuberant façade, however, is a problem that many encounter but few comprehend: ADHD.
The narrative "Journey to Understanding" is about more than just ADHD. It is a story of resiliency, empathy, and hope. Enter Timmy's world as he uses his newly acquired "toolbox" to manage his condition to negotiate the challenges of friendships, school, and self-awareness. Timmy discovers that his ADHD is only a part of his amazing adventure and not what defines him through ups and downs, the steadfast love of his loving mother, and the guidance of Dr. Smith.
Every chapter, from the suspenseful "Classroom Challenge" to the endearing "Soccer Tryout" and the educational "Science Fair Surprise," is a monument to the universal love of family and the resilience of the human spirit. For kids and adults alike, this book is insightful and heartwarming, offering hope to anybody impacted by ADHD.
"Journey to Understanding" will speak to you as a parent looking for understanding, as a teacher trying to be patient, or as a child dealing with ADHD. It will also inspire and reassure you that any obstacle can be overcome.
