Ellen Feld, Feathered Quill Book Reviews
“Quill says: Another winner from author Sherrill S. Cannon, this time on a topic that impacts so many children, and their families. David's ADHD should definitely find a place in every school library to help children with ADHD as well as to educate children who know someone with ADHD so that they can better understand, and interact, with their classmate(s).”

“David's ADHD introduces the subject of ADHD to children and their caregivers in a fun and easy-to-read format. The author demystifies what is a confusing and upsetting mode of behavior and shows how caregivers can work with kids like David and help them explore their strengths more fully. I especially liked how the book also includes those kids who have had interactions with kids like David. It clearly explains why they behave as they do and what challenges they face. With that knowledge, kids can learn to empathize with someone they may have avoided in the past… David’s ADHD shows that quite clearly in a story that’s accessible to kids and caregivers alike.. ”

“Whilst this is clearly a highly useful picture book for kids with ADHD to come to terms with their own needs and see how potential solutions could work for them, I feel it is also a highly useful book that every child, and indeed many, many adults, should also take a look at to open their eyes to the differences and needs of those around them. David’s situation is far from unique in today’s educational world, and author Sherrill S. Cannon does a great job of displaying all the wonderful options and possibilities that are on offer to help kids like David to concentrate and achieve in the classroom, just in a slightly different way to other people…”

“Told in a rhyming narrative, David's ADHD is as good for parents as it is for children. Sherrill S. Cannon brings a difficult and often misunderstood disorder to light in a sympathetic and constructive way, showing not only how ADHD impacts David, but also those who surround him on a daily basis. As a parent, I found this to book to be of comfort, particularly as ADHD is part of daily life in my family. I recognized many of the things David experienced, particularly difficulty making and retaining friends due to uncontrolled outbursts, and the grab bag (in our home it's a reward's chart) to incentivize positive steps forward...”

“A Dime is a Sign is Vulnerable, Introspective and a Masterpiece of Emotional Catharsis…Enjoy the read to the fullest…Touched my heart in a way I didn't expect. I found myself reliving moments that had been buried deep in the sands of time. And that's what good poetry does. It lingers, makes you stop, and remember - the hills, the valleys, the ebbs, the flows, the good, and the bad. A Dime is a Sign allowed me to open up my feelings to myself."

“A Dime is a Sign is such a beautiful piece of work…The best way to describe how Cannon's poetry makes me feel is with the use of the word 'inspired'. Her heart and soul are poured out onto each page and drip from each line, and still, even when the stanza reads in a lilt of restraint, Cannon elevates the message and inspires the heart."
