I just read the best book titled, "There"s A Monkey In My Backpack". This book touched home to me because I have a grandson, that I raise, who has a sensory disorder and this makes it hard for him to "fit in" with school and things like sports ect...
Anna goes to school and unlike the other 3rd graders in her class, Anna has a monkey in her backpack. The monkey tries to get Anna in trouble in class and to get her to do disruptive things. The monkey also helps Anna do good things and to complete her work. You see the monkey is actually a learning disorder and Anna is afraid she will not finish the 3rd grade.
