Customer Reviews

We LOVE Eukee

My 7 year old son loved this book and I was thankful to have found it quite by accident. Halfway through the book, he turned to me and said 'We have something in common; I can not sit still and I feel jumpy inside.' And I watched as he teared up when Eukee talked to the doctor about having trouble with friends. By the end, when Eukee is excelling with his sticker chart, my son was ecstatic as he talked about his own behavior...

A fabulously delightful story for young children with ADHD.

I wanted a simple, enjoyable book for my six year old son who was diagnosed with ADHD and my doctor recommended this one. I am glad I took her advice. My son and I read it over and over and over again.
