My Little Drummer
A joyful rhyming picture book exploring neurodiversity that's perfect for EVERY young reader.
There’s a drummer in my head.
They are tiny, but they’re there.
And they tap-a-tap-tap and pa-rum-pa-pum-pum
All day without a care…
Sounds distracting? It can be! The little drummer beats fast and loud when I'm overwhelmed. The little drummer taps out a rhythm when I'm trying to concentrate… And the little drummer knows just how to make me smile…
