Too Much!: An Overwhelming Day

Sometimes everything is too much. Too loud, too bright, and too overwhelming. Written from her own experience with Sensory Processing Disorder, award-winning teacher-librarian Jolene Gutierrez’s compassionate picture book explores the struggles of a sensory-sensitive child and how they are resolved. Accompanied by Angel Chang’s beautiful full-color illustrations, young readers will learn that it’s okay if some days are just too much.

An extensive author’s note for caregivers and educators explores sensory systems, sensory processing issues, and specific information on how to support children with overstimulated nervous systems as they learn to self-soothe.
