About this title

From the Inside Flap

endorsement "In I Think I Have the Wiggle Fidgets, Barb Esham achieves the near impossible by providing an honest and accurate yet wonderfully optimistic depiction of the blessings and burdens that result from combining the creativity of an artist, the energy of an athlete, and the attention controls of an 8-year-old! With humor and insight, Esham points to the often neglected upsides of high energy and creativity, and provides helpful strategies for channeling these gifts in positive ways. A tremendous source of information and encouragement for children who are learning to balance creativity and control!" Drs. Brock (M.D., M.A.) and Fernette (M.D.), learning experts physicians and consultants to a wide range of parent, teacher, and clinical professional groups|“This is a wonderful book series. Each story shows children that success is about effort and determination, that problems need not derail them, and that adults can understand their worries and struggles. My research demonstrates that these lessons are essential for children”.Dr. Carol S. Dweck, Stanford University, Professor of Psychology and author of “Mindset The New Psychology of Success” Carol S. Dweck, PH.D. is widely regarded as one of the world’s leading researchers in the fields of personality, social psychology, and developmental psychology.

About the Author

Author Barbara Esham was one of those kids who couldn't resist performing a pressure test on a pudding cup. She has always been a "free association" thinker, finding life far more interesting while in a state of abstract thought. Barbara lives on the East Coast with her three daughters. Together, in Piagetian fashion, they have explored the ideas and theories behind the definitions of intelligence, creativity, learning, and success. Barb researches and writes from her home office, in the spare time available between car pools, homework, and bedtime.

Barbara's book series, The Adventures of Everyday Geniuses, received the 2008 Parents' Choice Awards, were featured on the American Library Association Booklist, and listed on the Reading Rockets Recommended Readings.

Mike Gordon illustrates the Robin Hill series and has an extensive and varied background in illustration and design. He lives with his family in Santa Barbara, California.
