Book Overview

A Different Kind of Magic is a tender and empowering picture book that celebrates neurodivergent children and honors Puerto Rican culture. The story follows Isabela, a bright, curious, and energetic little girl whose thoughts and feelings seem too big for the world around her. At school, she's often in trouble for not sitting still or paying attention. At home, her family struggles to understand why she acts the way she does.

Inspired by both her children's real-life experiences with ADHD, author Veronica Maldonado shares a deeply personal story filled with warmth, compassion, and cultural pride. As Isabela's journey unfolds, she begins to realize that her brain works differently and that's not something to hide or fix. It's something to understand, love, and even celebrate.

Blending lyrical storytelling with rich, expressive illustrations, A Different Kind of Magic opens the door to meaningful conversations between children and caregivers about neurodiversity, emotions, and unconditional love. Spanish phrases and cultural details are woven throughout the story, making it an affirming choice for bilingual families, educators, and classrooms seeking greater representation.

This book is perfect for ages 5-9, and ideal for use in homes, schools, counseling offices, and libraries. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or mental health professional, A Different Kind of Magic offers a compassionate and culturally grounded tool to build understanding and empathy for children who are often misunderstood.
