Summary: Not Only an Author
Comment: Mrs. Roberts is not only known as an author to me. My brother Josh and I both had her as our Kindergarten teacher! We've both read the books as they come out and love to read them remembering our times we had when we in her class room! This book truly brings out the kid in you!

Summary: That's Me All Right!
Comment: Even though I'm not a second grade girl, as I read this charming little book I found myself remembering my own childhood and saying, "That's me all right!" This book is a valuable resource for any parent with an ADHD child. In plain language, using an interesting story, Barabara Roberts portrays the dilemmas that haunt every child with attention deficit disorder. "But, Mom, let me tell you what really happened" is their theme song. This is a MUST have and MUST read for every parent of an ADHD child.

I would urge Ms. Roberts to consider a similar series with a male character.

Summary: Fun, affirming picture book for the active girl
Comment: Phoebe is an enthusiastic, creative girl. Because of her high activity level, she has has to struggle to pay attention in class, and has only one good friend. Girls with hyperactive AD/HD as well as other active kids may see something of themselves in Phoebe.

Phoebe's principal and her mother are sympathetic but also help Phoebe see that she has some responsibilities for her actions. In the end, Phoebe's energy and daring make her the class heroine. She takes quick action to rescue the class pet.

This book is uses superb, sensitive ilustrations to follow the text. I especially liked how the pictures conveyed the strong bond of affection betwen Phoebe and her mother.

In the story, Phoebe is never formally identified as having AD/HD. I like having such a book because it can be used to explore behaviors without limiting ourselves to a specific diagnosis.
