It's Hard to Be a Verb - Paperback

by Julia Cook (Author), Carrie Hartman (Illustrator)

Being a verb is hard!

Especially for Louis, who can't seem to control himself when he gets the urge to move at the wrong time and situation.

My knees start itching.
My toes start twitching.
My skin gets jumpy.
Others get grumpy.

Louis' mom comes to the rescue by teaching him techniques to help keep his inner itching, twitching and jumping to be a verb in check.

A positive resource for anyone dealing with ADHD or challenged by someone who has ADHD.
