About this book
TikTok superstar, rapper and teacher Mr G takes readers on a guided tour of the ADHD brain in this brilliantly interactive and insightful book. Having ADHD himself and supporting ADHD children as a teacher for ten years, Jamie ‘Mr G’ Gilbert is incredible at explaining and celebrating neurodivergence and sharing strategies which can help all children thrive.
Rapped Up! features movement breaks, activities and exercises to try out, a free audiobook to listen along with, a fidget panel, child-friendly explanations, strategies for specific situations, and, of course, plenty of Mr G’s exciting rapping which can be downloaded for free along with the book – perfect to vibe along to while reading!
This is a fantastic deep dive into ADHD which strikes a great balance between detailed information and lightness. Mr G is transparent about his own ADHD which helps the book achieve a compelling and collaborative tone that does not condescend to children.
A book which can help all readers understand and celebrate the differences in our complex brains, this should be a staple in all classrooms.
