  2. beatrice –

    i love it thanks so much! Lots of exercises remind me of the homework my adhd therapist gave me and I -of course- totally forgot about! Now i got an amazing ressource to go back to!

  3. Melissa Mudd –

    This book just arrived today, and HOLY SCHMIP it’s freaking AMAZING!!!! I ordered three copies originally (one for me, one for my kids to share, and one for a friend), but I’m thinking it’s highly likely my kids won’t want to share it—and I may also need one for my classroom. Dani Donovan has knocked this ***out of the park.***

    If you’re still on the fence, I only have one question: can you order from there? If not, you need to get down and move closer to your WiFi router.

    Well done, Ms. Donovan! This book KICKS. ASS. (And thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!)

  4. Sarah –

    Just go ahead and order it – It’s as or more amazing than you think! You know you love and identify with her work already – so what’s not to like about more and more helpful?!

  5. Brenda –

    Love, love, love it!!! I feel so seen.
