This was super cute even though I feel like it presented a very stereotypical view of ADHD. Especially when for more girls ADHD presents much differently than boys, however, this is an own voices story and I'm not discrediting the author's experience. I do think this would've been a better, more impactful story if there were multiple kids with ADHD and they showed how they can look different than the stereotype.

This is a cute story about what it may look like when a friend has ADHD. It's a great introductory text to ADHD and promotes Neurodiversity The book has rhyming which makes it cute and I think it would be a great book to have for children.

I love the cognitive reframe on this book of ADHD being a superpower. I think so often kids need books written in first person that normalize the way they feel or symptoms they have. I love that it includes helpful suggestions on tools to use. As a child psychologist I would have this on my office bookshelf for sure and would recommend it to parents!

ADHD is my Superpower is a good book for building empathy. It helps the reader understand what happens emotionally and physically when one has to deal with ADHD.

ADHD Is My Superpower
4 Stars

So this book wasn't what I was expecting. I chose ADHD Is My Superpower, thinking it would address the positives of having ADHD. Such as their creativity, their ability to think outside of the box, and adaptability or problem-solving skills. That's not the case.

Instead, this book is written in the first person and we learn what it's like living with ADHD. So intriguing! The illustrations reflect the chaos of her mind. They're brightly colored, chaotic, and overwhelm your senses. I think this is a great book to introduce children to neurodiversity. To teach empathy to their brothers, sisters or classmates. They may be struggling.

Thank you, NetGalley and Windmill Books, for an advance review copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I really enjoyed reading this story! It’s very important to expose all children to different diagnoses that individuals may struggle with. ADHD can be very prevalent in todays world and it’s amazing to have a story about it both to teach children about it and to provide a means to connect and understand with children who have it. The illustrations were cute too! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the free preview in exchange for an honest review.

ADHD is My Superpower by Samantha Bernstein - 4 stars

I found this book to be a great way to introduce young children to neurodiversity. A way to teach them empathy to those around them. The illustrations are eye catching, bright and truly allow you to see the chaos someone with ADHD experiences. A peak into their world. I enjoyed all that this book was able to teach me, and I believe it could be beneficial to share with others.

Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the ARC.

This is a really cute idea for a book and I was intrigued by it as someone who has ADHD. I went undiagnosed until adulthood but was always very aware of how different I was. It was a struggle to not understand why some things seemed harder for me. A book like this would have been helpful to see a character who thought and acted in similar ways.

The actual structure of the rhyming and word choices could be a bit better. I felt that some of the flow was interrupted at times when it comes to this story as a read aloud but, overall, it's a good addition the world of picture books that helps fill in a gap.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC. I am leaving an 100% honest review.

What a wonderful book! Not just for the kids to be able to see themselves in a story. It's also wonderful for the parents to know their children aren't the only ones and might learn something about ADHD.

Really it is a great read for all kids so they can have a better understanding why their classmate or family member seems so hyper and just can't sit still.

Great book for all classrooms

ADHD is my Superpower goes through different characteristics of ADHD but views each as a strength. The character, Sam, talks about her strengths and different things she does to help herself. At the end, it is disclosed that the author herself has ADHD and she wants this to be used by educators to help students like them. Recommended for ages 5-11

This is such a great way to inform kids about ADHD and to show them that it's nothing to be ashamed of. A really important message that can impact a child's life for the better if they have access to this book.
