About the Author

  Deborah Moss was inspired to write Shelley, the Hyperactive Turtle from personal experience.  When her son Ryan was diagnosed with AD/HD at age six, she could not find a children’s book to explain the disorder to him.  After writing the story of Shelley and discovering how much it helped Ryan, she decided to get it published.  The author lives in Springdale, Arkansas.  

  Carol Schwartz is an award-winning illustrator of 37 books for children.
