About this item
An award-winning, beloved growth mindset book for kids that explores the mind of a gifted child with ADHD Have you ever started to think about one thing and ended up thinking about something completely different? Emily does it all the time. For example, today her science class was learning about the Arctic Circle. Emily was following along, but then she suddenly became distracted by one of her adventurous ideas. Her teacher is worried that Emily isn't paying attention to the information in class. Will Emily find something to do with all her extra thoughts? This sweet and humorous story is the perfect introduction to exploring creative outlets for wandering minds. Readers of all ages will enjoy the message that distracted thinking doesn't necessarily mean you're not paying attention in this relatable ADHD book for kids ages 4-8.
About the Author

Together they have explored the ideas and theories behind the definitions of intelligence, creativity, learning, and success.AUTHOR VISITS"Ms. Esham-stellar in her abilities to reach all of our students through her books and her engaging personality-brought her characters to life and captured everyone's attention."-- Carole C.
