Description

Join Melodie on a day out with her family as she gets overwhelmed with horrible smells, sights, sounds, tastes and textures.  This is a heartwarming story that follows Melodie as she visits the pungent market, noisy public bathroom, overwhelming restaurant that serves mushy vegetables, too brightly-lit mall and more. As she gets progressively more overwhelmed and upset, join her as she taps her nose and moves in circles to calm herself down, before returning home and relaxing in her safe space. Inspired by the author's daughter's experiences of sensory overload, this gentle rhyming picture book explores what a child with sensory issues experiences. With vibrant, stunning illustrations from Taylor Barron, this story ensures that children aged 4–8 who also experience sensory overload can feel represented, and neurotypical children can be introduced to why their friends and family sometimes get overwhelmed. At the back of the book, there is an informative spread on sensory overload.

Media Reviews

"A wonderfully fun read and a much-needed addition to your social-emotional learning book collection.”
"A beautiful story that gently explores what sensory overload is and how to mitigate it."
"This is a validating book for anyone with sensory processing challenges and an illuminating one for family members, educators, and peers."
"A heartwarming and informative story . . . [this] is a really important topic that I haven't seen frequently addressed with such clear and precise language in an elementary appropriate book."
"Perfect for neurodivergent kids learning to self-regulate, and for families, classrooms, and communities wanting to create more inclusive, empathetic spaces."
“A powerful insight into sensory differences, allowing neurodivergent children and young people to see themselves reflected while helping their peers develop greater understanding and empathy. A story that will support, comfort and empower so many within our community.”
“This book is really informative and helpful. I loved that it talked about stimming and how important it is, not many books do that! I really enjoyed this book and think lots of other kids like me would too.”
