Click, Tic, Jerk, and Hop is a touching and empowering picture book that follows the journey of a young child with Tourette Syndrome. Struggling to understand why her body and voice act in unexpected ways, she feels isolated and wonders if she'll ever truly belong. But through courage and self-discovery, she learns how to embrace her differences-and inspire others to do the same.
Written in rhyme by debut author, Jackie Nau, who shares her own experiences with motor and vocal tics, this beautifully illustrated book offers a heartfelt window into living with Tourette Syndrome. With vibrant artwork and uplifting poetry, it delivers a universal message of compassion, empathy, and the importance of creating a supportive community for all.
Perfect for children, families, and educators, Click, Tic, Jerk, and Hop is more than a story-it's a tool for understanding, acceptance, and celebrating what makes us unique. Includes a helpful list of resources for further learning and support.
