Authenticated by Greg’s own experiences of living with ADHD, a neurodivergent condition, a young boy called Bobby goes about his days at home, or at school. As he does, his mum or teachers find it hard to communicate with him, understand him, or sometimes to contain their own frustrations with how to relate to him.

A journey through a fearful moment, that assures a young child that they can find bravery from within just when they really need it. Whether your child or children have a fear of the dark, or separation anxiety, even going to school or nursery, this is a comforting read with a happy, hopeful and positive message (and ending). 

‘Rory’s Room of Rectangles’, breathtakingly illustrated by Jessica Knight, published exactly 1 month before Father’s Day, and for a very good reason. Taking art as a metaphor for life and art as a form or expression for emotions within the story, the author and illustrator are symbiotic in communicating Rory’s journey to readers. As the subtitle on the front cover reveals, this is “a story of blended families and big feelings”, and it delivers.
