My Little Drummer

My Little Drummer

Author: Sian Radford Illustrator: Gwen Millward

When a noisy drummer follows you everywhere, going into the world is hard to manage. With its rhythmic text and dynamic illustrations, this story explores how external and internal noises can clash to create disharmony, showing both the struggles and joys a child with a neurodiversion such as ADHD might face. A lovely picture book demonstrating the close link between self-acceptance and self-regulation.
