“Amazing Race” Winners Penn and Kim Holderness Announce New Kids Book on ADHD — See the Cover! (Exclusive)

Penn and Kim Holderness, the beloved winners of ‘The Amazing Race’, have exciting news to share with their fans. The dynamic duo is set to release a new children’s book focused on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The exclusive announcement of their upcoming book, titled ‘All You Can Be with ADHD’, was recently revealed to the public. Penn and Kim’s book, published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, aims to celebrate and empower young readers diagnosed with ADHD through playful rhyme and humour.

The forthcoming picture book, written by Penn, 50, and Kim, 49, aims to shed light on the wonders of the brains of individuals diagnosed with ADHD. The book’s official synopsis resonates with the audience, stating, “Welcome to the ADHD Club! If your brain’s like ours, then you may be fantastic, you may be vociferant! If your brain’s like ours, you might struggle with concentration. But only because you’re finding some true inspiration! If your brain’s like ours, you’ll soon see … you’re not alone with your ADHD.”

Penn and Kim’s creative venture into children’s literature follows the success of their adult nonfiction book, ‘ADHD is Awesome: A Guide To (Mostly) Thriving with ADHD’, which debuted as a New York Times bestseller in April 2024. Penn’s personal experience with ADHD, having been diagnosed during his college years, serves as a poignant motivation behind their advocacy. The couple’s continuous efforts to raise awareness about ADHD have garnered a substantial following on social media platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.

Illustrated by Vin Vogel, ‘All You Can Be with ADHD’ is a heartfelt project that carries a profound message of understanding and self-acceptance for those living with ADHD. Penn shares his personal journey, expressing, “This book was written by an ADHD brain, and I hope it shows that ADHDers are innovative, spontaneous, loyal and funny. This book is for anyone like me who ever felt misunderstood, confused or ashamed of their ADHD.” Kim, his supportive partner, echoes his sentiments by emphasising the positive attributes of individuals with ADHD.

In a recent interview, Penn opened up about the challenges and triumphs of living with ADHD, stating, “ADHD can be scary. But if you work to treat it, the good stuff is there. And it does become truly awesome. I’m living proof of that.” Kim fondly reflects on their journey together, affirming that her initial attraction towards Penn was rooted in his unique qualities, many of which are attributed to his ADHD. The couple’s determination to turn their mental health struggles into strengths is truly commendable.

‘All You Can Be with ADHD’ is scheduled to be released on October 14 and is now available for pre-order. The book promises to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for children and families navigating the complexities of ADHD. As Penn and Kim continue to make a positive impact through their storytelling and advocacy, their latest endeavour is poised to resonate with readers of all ages. Stay tuned for the official launch of this heartfelt and empowering children’s book.
