Books for the hard moments ADHD families actually live.
Meet Persephone. She's six, her brain is FAST, and she's figuring it out — one big day at a time.
★★★★★ Written by an ADHD parent, for the 9pm search.
For the sibling whose turn keeps getting swallowed.
Meet Mazie. She's four, she's the "easy one" — and her biggest feelings come out through her dolls, Flora and Romi.
★★★★★ The glass child, made visible — to herself first.
One hard moment, honestly told
No moralizing, no magic fix. Persephone actually blows it — and the repair is shown, not skipped.
A strategy she picks and owns
The idea is always hers, never an adult's lesson. She ends every book competent and liked — especially by herself.
Words your family will use
Each book gives one metaphor that becomes shared family vocabulary — the part parents review the book for.
Waiting Is the Hardest Part
It's Mazie's turn on the new tire swing. This is going to be the longest wait in history.
Persephone discovers the Popcorn Jobs — three things to do while waiting that turn the hardest minute into something she can actually handle.
Mazie's Side — for the sibling, not the patient
The Persephone books are for the ADHD child. Mazie's Side is for the kid in the next chair — the "easy one" whose own turn keeps getting swallowed by the big feeling in the room. For every Persephone moment, there's a Mazie book that names what that same moment costs her sister, and hands the strategy to Mazie. Never villainizing Persephone; never pathologizing Mazie.
It Was Supposed to Be My Turn
Mazie's turn on the tire swing dissolves into someone else's big feeling. The resentment-and-guilt knot, named and loosened.
