A reassuring rhyming picture book about sensory overload and what
you can do when everything is too much
When feelings go
on overload,
I pause and
breathe
and all is . . .
slowed.
Sometimes
everything is too much! Too loud, too bright, and all too
overwhelming. Writing from her own experience with sensory processing
disorder, award-winning teacher-librarian Jolene Gutiérrez’s
compassionate picture book explores the struggles of a sensorily
sensitive child and how they settle themselves. Joined by Angel
Chang’s beautiful color illustrations, young readers will learn
that it’s OK if some days are too much.
An
extensive author’s note to caregivers and educators explores
sensory systems, sensory processing issues, and specific information
about how to support kids with overstimulated nervous systems as they
learn to soothe themselves.
