Taking Tourette Syndrome to School (Special Kids in School Series) [Paperback] Tira Krueger and Tom Dineen

This is a children's book that explains Tourette Syndrome through the eyes of a kid who has it. Written for elementary-age readers, it breaks down what tics are, why they happen, and what it's like to live with a condition that makes your body do things you can't control. The tone is straightforward and age-appropriate — no medical jargon, just honest answers to the questions classmates actually ask. It's designed to be read in classrooms or at home, helping kids with Tourette feel less alone and helping their peers understand that tics aren't something to laugh at or fear. Part of the Special Kids in School series, which tackles various conditions with the same clear, compassionate approach. If you're a parent, teacher, or school counselor looking for a tool to build empathy and awareness, this does the job without being preachy.
