Poppy's Miracle – A Therapeutic Story About ADHD, Neurodiversity & Finding Your Gift

A story that helps children see themselves through the lens of possibility, not a label.

Ten-year-old Alex doesn't want to go on holiday to Greece with his family. The only advantage? Being far away from Jason, who bullies him for having ADHD. What Alex doesn't realise is that this holiday will change his life forever — when he meets a stray, abandoned puppy.

When the puppy is injured, Alex is determined to care for her and bring her home to England. Can Alex and his family overcome the mountain of challenges ahead? Can he prove to his family that ADHD is a gift, not a disorder? Will determination be enough to make this miracle come true?

Inspired by the real rescue of Poppy in Greece, this unforgettable story shows how courage, compassion, and determination can change lives forever.
