From the publisher

Learn about neurodivergence in this thoughtful, fun-filled story about ADHD written by the iconic duo behind ADHD Love, Roxanne and Richard Pink. I have a secret that lives in my brain. I call him Ady, but that’s not his name. . . Doctors told Dad it’s called ADHDBut that’s way too boring for Ady and Me.Join Sophie and her best friend Ady as they get ready for school, attend class, and learn all about exciting things from pharaohs to Venus and Mars. . . but Sophie’s teacher doesn’t see Ady or quite understand him. Ady wants to be friends with everyone, doodles on the page, spills paint, and gets distracted when learning all about math. Ady may cause a mess sometimes, and Ady and Sophie are often running late–but having an Ady also brings creativity and joy to Sophie’s life–and art class is their absolute favorite! Join Sophie and Ady as they find a place where they are happy and celebrated, as everyone should be, on their journey from misunderstanding to acceptance. Through Ady and Me children will learn to understand, love and accept neurodivergence, in a simple metaphor that demonstrates all the ups and downs of life with ADHD, or with an Ady by your side! ADHD Love’s Rich and Rox bring their personal experience of neurodivergence to the story, sharing their important message that ADHD isn’t something to be ashamed of–but something to be understood and celebrated. Ady is something to celebrate, and as Sophie discovers, lots of people have Ady’s of their own! With hundreds of thousands of followers across ADHD Love social channels, Rich and Rox bring their popular and important message directly to kids for the first time in Ady and Me. Paired with charmingillustrations by Sara Rhys, Ady and Me is a powerful and important picture book filled with color, fun, creativity, and most importantly a celebration of all people on the rainbow spectrum of neurodiversity.
