A Wonderful Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Phoebe's Best Best Friend: Phoebe Flower's Adventures (Paperback)
As a mother with an eight year old girl diagnosed with ADD, I embraced this series of books. Phoebe Flowers is a girl with all the same attributes and mindset as my daughter. As ADD can present itself quite differently in girls, this book refers to a girl that my daughter can relate with, and see that she is not all that different. The socializing problems, the lack of friends, and the difficulty in forming friendships is explored in the text of this narrative, from the viewpoint of the central character. With great humour Barbara Roberts explores the mysteries of social cues and poinantly allows the reader to make conclusions on their own. My daughter and I laughed our way through the book together. There were important breaks in the chapters which allowed me to delve into further discussions with my daughter about her ADD and how it affects her, and her environment. This is a must read for anyone with a child with ADD. It is also a must read for any child in the primary school years. All children can relate to the characters, and their predicament.

This review is from: Phoebe's Best Best Friend: Phoebe Flower's Adventures (Paperback)
Our nine year old daughter was diagnosed with ADD, and suffers many of the same social mis-steps as Phoebe Flowers. This book offers so many opportunities for discussion. My daughter could really relate to Phoebe. We will be buying the rest of the series!

Excellent Book and Author Presenter,
This review is from: Phoebe's Best Best Friend: Phoebe Flower's Adventures (Paperback)
Barbara Roberts has written four books with Phoebe Flower as the main character. These books are engaging and fun for children and adults to read. The books affirm the uniqueness in all children. Barbara also presents wonderful workshops for children and adults who would like to know more about becoming an author. Barbara has been a visiting author in many schools and I highly recommend her books and school visitations.
