A surprisingly wonderful discovery
First Second consistently delivers compelling titles catering to young audiences, and Tyler Page excelled in sharing his personal journey. Button Pusher is a brilliant reflection of the unique range and value of graphic storytelling. This book will destigmatize and foster understanding for both those navigating life with ADHD and their families.
This book resonated deeply within my own family dynamics. It’s become a profoundly personal recommendation; I’ve likely shared and suggested this book more than any other read of the year.
