A Warm, Empowering Story About High Energy, Big Feelings, and Celebrating What Makes Kids Unique
The story reinforces that his 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...A must-have for young readers with any type of behavior difficulty and their caregivers. --School Library Journal (Starred Review)
This engaging picture book follows Charlie, a young boy who feels like he has a whirling, twirling motor inside him every day, making it hard to sit still, slow down, or stay focused even when he wants to. Through relatable narration and gentle family support, this story helps children understand that having lots of energy is not something to be ashamed of, and that challenges do not define who they are.
Alongside the story, a detailed Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers provides information on hyperactivity, ADHD, behavior management, and ways adults can help children focus on positive experiences.
