Praise for this book

"Organization is a topic that does not come naturally to many children. Finally, a book that children can relate to with easy to follow steps. I can't wait to use this with my students!" - Britni Haskin, elementary school teacher

"Blake asks the question: "Why can't school be laid back as summer?" Many children would ask that question. That author points out the difference between the summer activities and what must take place when school restarts after summer. The teacher compares the progress the child can make in school and can give the feeling of hitting a Home Run in baseball. The book is very encouraging of proper behavior and attitude when school restarts. This is a book of encouragement and is recommended for children to improve their attitude when it's time to return to school." - M.G. Paregian, Reviewer

"My eight year old son has ADHD and Autism. We've been using books written by this author - Bryan Smith - for about six months to help my kiddo learn to problem solve some of the issues he struggles with daily.

I'd recommend this book, and any other Bryan Smith book from this series, to all parents. For both special needs and neurotypical children, these books act really well as 'social stories' that can help them identify a personal struggle and learn techniques and mechanisms to overcome those challenges." - Cat B, Amazon
