Tagalong is a young raccoon who has ADHD. He always seems to be doing the wrong things at the wrong times and many times he isn't listening when his mother gives directions. His brothers enjoy teasing him about this very much. One day, easy-going Tagalong has enough and runs away. Unfortunately, he forgets the dangers mom warned him about. It is a close call and a learning experience for the whole family. Tagalong learns the importance of paying attention and his family learns to have more patience and understanding. The book contains 40 reasons why it is good to have ADHD, famous people who have/had ADHD, and a section for children to write "My Story." Practical advice for parents and professionals is included.
