My brain is magic

a sensory-seeking celebration

Button pusher

2022
"Tyler's brain is different. Unlike his friends, he has a hard time paying attention in class. He acts out in goofy, over-the-top ways. Sometimes, he even does dangerous things--like cut up a bus seat with a pocketknife or hang out of an attic window. To the adults in his life, Tyler seems like a troublemaker. But he knows that he's not. Tyler is curious and creative. He's the best artist in his grade, and when he can focus, he gets great grades. He doesn't want to cause trouble, but sometimes he just feels like he can't control himself"--Provided by publisher.

Bug Blonsky and his very long list of don'ts

2018
"If seven-year-old Benjamin (aka Bug) Blonsky were a superhero, he'd be 'Bug Boy with the Power to Annoy.' That's what his big sister says. Mom says he's wiggly and can't sit still. Dad says he's easily distracted. On this day, Bug's 'choices' of drawing pictures of pig roller coasters during math time and making armpit noises when his teacher bends over have landed him in a heap of trouble, so now he's writing a list of what not to do: his list of don'ts."--Publisher.
