Book #1

Book #2

When setting out to write a series of chapter books for young neurodivergent readers, my aim was not to sound like a teacher. That approach won't work for children who learn differently

My ADHD granddaughter complained about not finding 'anything to read', and, given our shared love of animals, it was a no-brainer to cast her as Luna, the main character, and then create a narrator based on the animal we both love - my Rhodesian Ridgeback

Their relationship lives on a level not easily understood by others and perfectly underscores the belief that dogs are the bridge between humans and happiness

  Animals can get away with teaching children, so who better than my dog to offer advice on coping with inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity? These three characteristics play a major role in the Puppy-dog Series

Anyone who knows anything about Ridgebacks would know they regard themselves as human, are extremely sensitive to children's needs and therefore insert themselves deeply in your everyday life without shame

By following Luna and her guide dog, My-Dog Whisper, neurodivergent readers make sense of their differentness. They learn to cope with big feelings and to build confidence in doing so. Through fun adventures, children informally develop problem-solving skills and an empathy for those who are different. And of course, a love of reading is fostered in the process
