New Website Resource: Books Featuring Characters with ADHD
New Website Resource: Books Featuring Characters with ADHD
In honor of AHDH Awareness Month, we are delighted to introduce a brand-new resource now available on our school website: a curated reading list featuring characters with ADHD.
This collection covers a broad range of ages, from primary-aged children through to older readers, as well as a selection of informative non-fiction titles:
Picture Books & Younger Readers: Delightful stories such as Bessie's Bees, Ady and Me, and Cloud Boy offer gentle and creative ways to explore busy thoughts, focus, and self-acceptance.
Early Chapter Books: Engaging reads like Cally & Jimmy: Twins in Trouble, Dino Mode Activated!, and Reggie Houser Has the Power highlight friendship, strengths, and navigating everyday challenges.
Older Readers: Thoughtful novels such as The Boy with the Butterfly Mind, Show Us Who You Are, and Check Mates explore identity, family, and confidence.
Non-Fiction Titles: Accessible guides like ADHD: Rapped Up! and Wonderfully Wired Brains offer clear explanations and practical insights into neurodiversity.
Why Share These Books?
These titles provide wonderful opportunities for children to feel recognised, explore different perspectives, and spark meaningful family conversations about neurodiversity. Please note that age recommendations come from source websites and generally reflect interest levels rather than independent reading ability. We encourage you to choose books that match your child's interests and enjoy reading them together!
