Book for Sibling?

[IrishEyes1]

Hi everyone,

My son (now 7) was diagnosed with ADHD last fall we're on a good path with a 504 and medication plan. My older child, a girl aged 10, has been extremely patient and understanding but she does sometime become frustrated as there are times in which my husband and I need to focus more of our time on our son. She asked if there are any books out there for siblings of kids with ADHD to help them understand ADHD. Is anyone aware of an age appropriate book? I think she'd really love a novel type of book in which the main character is in a similar situation as she is.

Thank you!

hi! I bought a book for my adhd child: Different thinkers: ADHD, and she really liked it.. i havent read it to her brother but it might help.

I would also like a book for siblings if someone has a recommendation. They def suffer the consequences of the family dynamics!
