"Children who get distracted easily will relate to Sadie and will realize they can focus on their positive qualities." -Oregon Coast Youth Book Preview Center

Sadie feels like her thoughts are soaring into the clouds and she can't bring them back down to earth. She has trouble paying attention, which makes keeping track of schoolwork, friends, chores, and everything else really tough. Sometimes she can only focus on her mistakes.

When Sadie talks to her parents about her wandering, dreaming mind, they offer a clever plan to help remind Sadie how amazing she is.

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information on ADHD, self-esteem, and helping children focus on the positives.
