Review Quotes

"This book is a heartwarming and inspiring story about a boy who loves soccer and navigates life with ADHD. The author beautifully portrays the struggles and triumphs of living with ADHD, showing it is something you can work with rather than against. A must read for any child to explain a few of the obstacles of living with ADHD and ways of overcoming struggles by making it fun."

"This is an easy read with cute pictures that also teaches kids about ADHD. The central theme is for kids to use their differences as strengths, which is a great message for any kid! I'm glad I got this book for my soccer playing son (who doesn't have ADHD fyi)!"

"My daughter cracked this open as soon as it came in the mail and read it straight through - and she is NOT a reader! It's a well thought out book and a good explanation of ADHD and how that effects her and her friends!"

"As a parent of a child who has autism and is being assessed for ADHD I found this story to be very insightful. My son absolutely loves this book and can relate to the story's main character called Z."

"As a dad of an autistic boy who's also loves his football this is great to see a positive story that helps provide a relatable role model for him to harness his energies. It would be great if this became a series later on as Z goes through different stages in life."
