Meet David, one of award-winning author Sherrill S. Cannon's "Classroom of Kids," who manages his ADHD with the help of classmates.

"David's ADHD is a timely topic for parents and children. A story in rhyme that demystifies ADHD. It explains a youngster's behavior in terms of his inattentiveness and impulsivity and how it impacts those around him. A sensitive way of creating understanding for children with ADHD and their families." - Dr. Valerie Allen, licensed school psychologist
"Very highly recommended for children ages 6-8, "David's ADHD" is an effective, informative, and charmingly entertaining addition for any family, elementary school, or community library collection." - Midwest Book Review
