About The Book

Do everyday tasks bore you? Do you find it hard to focus? You are not alone! This story about a girl with ADHD, written in a humorous style, will help you tackle the most mundane tasks head-on.

Pffft. Why would you read this book? It’s REALLY BORING. It’s about BORING chores you have to do every day. Brush your teeth, make your bed, put your toys away . . . Nope, not fun at all. Or is it?

A funny story about ADHD, imagination, and super boring everyday tasks. For children ages 4 years and up.
