My Little Drummer

A joyful rhyming picture book exploring neurodiversity that's perfect for EVERY young reader.

There’s a drummer in my head.

They are tiny, but they’re there.

And they tap-a-tap-tap and pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

All day without a care…

Sounds distracting? It can be! When this little girl is overwhelmed, her little drummer beats fast and loud. She taps out a rhythm when she’s trying to concentrate… And the little drummer knows just how to make her smile…

Debut children’s author Sian Radford shares her experience of neurodivergence in this playful, imaginative picture book that celebrates imagination, creativity and connection.
