Hanna's Blue

In this beautifully illustrated picture book, a young girl struggles with Attention Deficit Disorder. For Hanna, change causes stress and confusion. When her favorite classroom volunteer, Miss Rose, takes time off, Hanna has difficulty staying calm. Recognizing her feelings, another volunteer makes suggestions to lighten Hanna's mood. When nothing works, she guides her to a sunny garden, where she meets "Blue", a friendly, serene butterfly. After a brief visit, Blue flutters away, leaving Hanna sad and confused. Pouring her heart into a powerful wish, Hanna looks for a way to bring Blue back. But change comes again, forcing Hanna to wish harder than ever! The page that follows the happy conclusion to Hanna's story is about the author, Alicia Minor, giving a brief glimpse into her personality and home life. There is also a page dedicated to the illustrator's bio and contact information. The final page is an introduction to, and full description of Ms. Minor's debut picture book, "Me & My Hot Dog Pillow".
