Marvin's Monster Diary: ADHD Attacks!
by Raun Melmed, Annette Sexton
Illustrated by Jeff Harvey
Many books for children with developmental and behavioral disabilities struggle to connect with their intended readers. Special needs books, though well intentioned, can easily become overly sweet, simplistic, and sometimes pedantic. Marvin's Monster Diary is the opposite. It's full of Wimpy Kid-like doodles and jokes and delivers a humorous first-person narrative that kids will readily relate to. Hilarious doodles on every page. Doesn't just explain ADHD, but provides simple, concrete techniques ("monstercam" and "ST4") that kids can use to be mindful and focus. Includes a section for parents and teachers to better understand the techniques and other overall strategies for working with a child with ADHD. Clinical underpinnings for the book comes from Dr. Raun Melmed, the medical director of the Melmed Center in Scottsdale, AZ. As a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, he has worked on creating nationally recognized physician training programs for the early identification of infants and toddlers with developmental and behavioral concerns. He's also the coauthor of Succeeding with Difficult Children, and has published numerous medical articles.
