Overview

My Mum Has ADHD is a warm, honest, and beautifully illustrated children's book that introduces young readers to the realities of living with an ADHD parent. Told through the loving eyes of a child, this gentle rhyming story explores the ups, downs, and wonderfully chaotic moments that come with a busy, neurodivergent brain and the unconditional love that never changes. Some days Mum feels like Superwoman. Other days feel messy, overwhelming, or a little bit too much. There are mornings when they race out the door, days when emotions run high, and moments filled with creativity, laughter, and big cuddles on the sofa. Through each scene, children learn that different brains work in different ways and that love remains steady even when routines don't. Written by Jordan Campbell, a neurodivergent mum, writer, and mental health advocate, this story opens the door to meaningful conversations about emotions, regulation, patience, and empathy. It helps children understand that ADHD isn't anyone's fault, and that families who look or feel ""different"" are just as full of joy, connection, and care. Perfect for ages 3-10, this book is ideal for parents, teachers, SENCOs, and mental health professionals seeking to support emotional literacy and neurodiversity awareness in young children. My Mum Has ADHD reminds readers that even on the hardest days, love remains the one thing that never changes.
