Racing Mind: A Story of Girl with ADHD

Racing Mind A Story of Girl with ADHD is a picture book written by Donia Yousry and illustrated by Lydia Fontaine Ferron. I saw this book in a local bookstore Curio Room and immediately purchased it. I love finding inclusive picture books that help children understand a variety of different learning differences.

This picture book is well written and explores a variety of different strategies that families go through when a child first gets diagnosed with ADHD. Mira learns that with support, accommodations and other tools she can be successful and learn how to focus when she needs to. I also loved the illustration, font and language used in the book.

As a parent, it’s important to teach our children with ADHD that having ADHD can be challenging at times but other times it can be a superpower. It makes us creative, driven and “out of the box” thinkers which is what the world needs!
