Image
  Andrew and Kristin Wilcox, authors of  Andrew's Awesome Adventures with His ADHD Brain , were interviewed for PBS recently. A link to the interview will be coming soon. Here is a picture from behind the scenes.  Book description: In this two-part book Andrew and his neuroscientist mom each tell their story about living with the inattentive subtype of ADHD. How do you survive life and middle school with an ADHD elephant in your brain?

Author in the News: Kris Girrell Organizes Operation ELF

Image
  Each year at this time, Kris Girrell, author of the award-winning books, Typhoon Honey and Learning to Feel ,  is deeply involved with his charity Operation ELF. But there are two things that seem to have collided this year that have resulted in the problem for which Kris is asking help. The first is that because this time of year has become ever more commercialized, people may think of Operation ELF as a part of that frenzy – after all, we are asking sponsors to fulfil the wishes of the kids who are on the roster.  But this is not, nor has it ever been about buying stuff for kids.  These children are often the forgotten ones. They live in communities where most likely they will see someone shot and killed right on their street.
