Remi is one manic squirrel!
Scampering here and scampering there, he's a fluffball of constant motion. Whether he's at home, in school, or out on the town, Remi never stays in one place. Even his thoughts come and go at a wildly rapid pace.
With too much energy and too little focus, Remi finds himself in all kinds of trouble. School assignments go missing because his backpack and desk are messy, bottomless blackholes. Some homework never gets done because his tablet and TV prove too tempting.
"My desk is a mess, my cubby's a wreck
and my backpack's a giant black hole.
It's swallowing snacks, pencils, and papers,
like a vortex that's totally out of control!"
Even the class field trip nearly ends in disaster when Remi has a run-in with an exhibit made out of glass! Will Remi ever be able to calm his mind and his body long enough to get organized, stay on task, and actually have success?
Children will laugh as they follow Remi through his whirlwind day, scrambling to find his things and stay on task. With help, he learns to slow down, stay organized, relax and reset.

respectful, and caring ideas and solutions for Remi. Allows
guidance for families, and educators alike." - Mark Wiener
"This book was great! I enjoyed reading it! The pictures are
wonderful as well. Strategies to help kids with symptoms of ADHD at
home and at school are very helpful." - Maureen Mann, Counselor @
Boys Town National Research Hospital
"An excellent resource for normalizing inattentiveness,
hyperactivity, and impulsivity in the school setting. Remi
encapsulates the everyday struggles that many students will easily
identify with. This book provides practical and feasible ideas for
managing these challenges, providing an excellent set of resources
to students, their family members, and their educators. I highly
recommend a copy of this beautifully written and illustrated book
for every elementary ssroom and school counseling office. " -
