Charlie feels like he has a whirling, twirling motor running inside
him all the time and sometimes he just can't settle. When his mom wants
to talk to him, he figures he's in trouble...but she has a surprise for
him instead!
Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with more
information on ADHD, behavior management, and helping children focus on
the positives.
"The story reinforces that his being overactive and impulsive is not
intentional and does not make him bad. The young narrator eventually
internalizes his parents' focus on his accomplishments, rather than his
challenges, and he wonders what positive things he will do tomorrow...A
must-have for young readers with any type of behavior difficulty and
their caregivers." --School Library Journal (Starred Review)
