Delilah's Song: Learning about children with ADHD Chantilly Smith

A young girl with ADHD is finding difficulty making friends in school and play. The other children don't seem to understand her or the things she does. -this children's picture story book puts a fresh spin on the ins and outs of the minds of children with ADHD, with a young female character and an explanation children can understand using an everyday concept.

Raising children of her own with disabilities, including ADHD, Chantilly Smith debuts the story of Delilah by helping kids understand this disability in a way children can comprehend. Delilah's Song resonates well with boys, girls and children with and without diagnoses. It develops conversation prompts in many areas of concern and helps adolescents understand symptoms -be it their own or someone else's.

"This isn't another self-help book for kids. It features a child with ADHD, being herself and that's just a refreshing thing to see." -

"As a teacher, it opened up so many areas of conversation with the kids and didn't seem to single anyone out. Our class loved it." -

"Even though the main character is a girl, my son really related to this book. He asked questions about my and his sister's song. I felt like it not only teaches non-disabled kids about ADHD but it helps kids with ADHD understand it." -
