About the Book A.D.D. in Poetry, One Family's Journey with Attention Deficit Disorder, is a collection of uplifting and meaningful poetry paired with delightful color illustrations, that will warm the hearts of its readers and will remind them that there is life after the ADD/ADHD diagnosis. This book is written in a simple, down-to-earth language and offers insight to an ADD/ADHD child's mind. Each poem expresses thoughts and feelings on how one can live and enjoy today and will inspire one to never give up hope for a better tomorrow. This book can be a wonderful gift to a loved one and/or caregiver experiencing ADD/ADHD first hand. I am not a doctor, but having to care for four ADD children and share a relationship with an ADD husband, I feel I may have practical experiences to share with others. My children have shared their experiences and have given their stamps of approval on each poem. It is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. I also hope to leave the reader a sense that they are not alone in their daily journey with Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

About the Author Author/illustrator Jennifer East is a semi-retired graphic designer/illustrator of 16 years. Several years ago she decided to dedicate her time to her four children, while they were still young. Her second oldest son, Collin, then in 5th grade, suggested this book, while driving home from a school event. Ms. East is the only member of her family of six who doesn't have ADD traits. Her mission for this book is two fold. The ADD/ADHD child will enjoy the poetry and illustrations, while celebrating in their uniqueness, and the non-ADD/ADHD family member(s) will gain some insight when living and caring for them. Ms. East is not a doctor, but having to care for four ADD children and share a relationship with an ADD husband, she feels she may have practical experiences to share with others. Her children have shared their experiences and have given their stamps of approval on each poem. It is a reflection of how they feel about themselves. Ms. East also hopes to leave the reader a sense that they are not alone in their daily journey with Attention Deficit Disorder.
