A father sits cross-legged with a coffee cup as his wife and daughter sleep beside him in warm morning light

A morning of mismatched socks. An afternoon on the curb. An evening fort built by lamplight. And a dad who falls asleep before any of it ends — surrounded by the two most interesting people he knows.

A picture book about a family with ADHD, told by the one who doesn’t have it.

Mom in her studio, deep in a project, paint on her apron
“Mom is making something. She has six ideas at once and they’re all good.”
“A beautifully tender and accurate look at what it’s like to navigate a neurodivergent household. As a clinician, I love how this story validates the ADHD experience; as the author’s wife, I love how it captures the heart of our home.”
— Annie DeArmond, MMFT, LMFT

About the book

For families who have always been the most interesting people in the room.

The Most Interesting People I Know is a quiet, warmly illustrated picture book about a family with ADHD, told by the one who doesn’t have it. Charli is six. Her mom is a working artist. They both have ADHD. Her dad doesn’t. He just walks at their speed, hands Charli his sunglasses when the world gets loud, sits on the curb when she’s spent, and falls asleep on the couch every night while the two of them stay up shining.

Written for ADHD families, neurodivergent parents, and anyone who has ever been told to slow down.

Ages 4–8. 32 pages. Loose watercolor and ink illustration.
