Lodi, WI July 8, 2004 –- Kingsford is Rose's cat and narrates through the stories of Rose's misunderstandings, mishaps, and misadventures, helping his friend to think logically about what upsets her and explaining the predicament to the reader. The first proposed book in this volume is Nobody Wants to Play with Me and contains resources for parents and guardians on this topic.
According to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) approximately 1.6 million elementary school children have been diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.)
Prevalence of Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disability is a report based on 1997-98 data from CDCs National Health Interview Survey and shows about one-half of children diagnosed with ADHD have also been identified as having a learning disability.
For this reason, there has been a rise in learning and activity materials specially designed to cater to parents and children of this long undetected and often misdiagnosed illness.
Kingsford the Cat and Rose adds to the growing number of children's books written with the distinct purpose of having young readers see themselves in the stories portrayed and understand they aren't alone.
Audience: Five to nine-year-olds, parents, guardians, teachers, and counselors.
About the series: Kingsford the Cat and Rose are books devoted to understanding ADHD through the life of a child. Rose is a young girl who faces the difficulties and seeks out the help and advice of her cat, Kingsford. Kingsford acts as a sounding board and confidant to help Rose her with issues that arise from having ADHD.
