Eagle Eyes: A Child's View of Attention Deficit Disorder

A warmly-written story for 6 to 10 year-olds about Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), which affects nearly two million children in the U.S. Clear, comforting explanations & hopeful solutions about a condition few adults understand. Set in the woodlands of upstate New York, Eagle Eyes' rich illustrations hold the interest of young readers (even reluctant ones), & inspires both children & adults to look for the gifts in people who are different. Children with attention problems identify with the book's young hero & benefit from his realization that he is a special person with special talents. Other young readers become sensitized to the needs of their classmates & siblings who have ADD, & parents are inspired to search for their children's hidden abilities & nurture youngsters' self-esteem. Just as Jeanne Gehret's first book, "The Don't-Give-Up Kid," helped children with learning disabilities, this book is already proving itself to be a valuable educational tool in classrooms & homes throughout the country. Recommended by therapists & leading disability groups including the Council for Exceptional Children, Learning Disabilities Association of America, & Children with Attention Deficit Disorders.Gehret, Jeanne is the author of 'Eagle Eyes: A Child's View of Attention Deficit Disorder' with ISBN 9780962513619 and ISBN 096251361X.
