A memoir-driven realistic graphic novel about Tyler, a child who is
diagnosed with ADHD and has to discover for himself how to best manage
it.
Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time
paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways.
Sometimes, he even does dangerous things--like cut up a bus seat with a
pocketknife or hang out of an attic window.
To the adults in his life, Tyler seems like a troublemaker. But he knows
that he's not. Tyler is curious and creative. He's the best artist in
his grade, and when he can focus, he gets great grades. He doesn't want
to cause trouble, but sometimes he just feels like he can't control
himself.
In Button Pusher, cartoonist Tyler Page uses his own childhood
experiences to explore what it means to grow up with ADHD. From
diagnosis to treatment and beyond, Tyler's story is raw and
enlightening, inviting you to see the world from a new perspective.
