is a story of a hyperactive child. Aspen has difficulty sitting still and paying attention-particularly in school. She is a "day-dreamer" and has a different way of processing information. Aspen's teacher is impatient and exasperated with her apparent lack of focus. Aspen, in turn, is upset with her teacher. Not able to deal with the tension, Aspen runs away from school. This is the story of how her adult friends and their advice help her, and how her teacher learns several ways she can assist Aspen with her unique learning style. Together, they develop a step-by-step plan to establish a compatible program for blending Aspen's creative learning style with the regimen of school. "The world and its children are perfect the way they are. It's how we often see them that's imperfect." -Author Jaydene Morrison
