Testimonials for
The Right Now! Kid

Lisa

“I just finished reading the right now kid I am a lion. I love how it talks about all the feelings in the body and trying to get them out. I think it shows the neurodivergent experience really well.

Honestly I feel like the whole world needs to read it so they can understand the neurodivergent experience. I love the part where he’s so wrapped up in play he doesn’t see the dog because that’s so true for the neurodivergent brain!”

“Omg! Robin, this book brought a tear to my eyes because not all parents think to do "that." Sometimes parents need a reminder that it's ok to get on level with their kids. Sometimes we just need to roar like a lion and we all feel better. I felt every jittery feeling this little boy felt. I remember those feelings in my own childhood. I feel this book can be one of those "go to books" like "Love you forever" was in my house.

  • Robin’s explanation of the main character’s actions made me think again. As an experienced elementary teacher I have many students with these feelings. I think this should be required teacher reading!

  • You managed to articulate what having ADHD feels like physically and emotionally, and that's not easy to do. I was instantly reminded of what it was like being a "fidgety" kid. ADHD can be so isolating. I only wish there were things like this book when I was a kid. I might have had a very different life. Reading about the "lightning" going through his legs.. I still get that feeling and until I just read this book I could never put into words what it felt like.. it's a children's book, but I learned something about myself reading it."
