Parent Guide
Adina struggles with controlling impulsive behavior and often finds herself in trouble at school and at home. Her supportive parents have tried to encourage her to accept help, but she’s unwilling to cooperate. When she is asked to wait out an activity while on a school trip with her fourth-grade class, she despairs of ever regaining the respect of her peers.
Luckily for Mr. Hernandez, Adina is in exactly the right place at the right time to recognize the early signs of a stroke. All ends well as Mr. Hernandez recovers and Adina becomes more accepting of her own neurodiversity. This cute, short book will resonate with kids who struggle with “good” behavior as well as their friends and classmates.
