Too Noisy!

Reach for this book when your child is feeling particularly sensitive to their environment or struggling to fall asleep because every little sound feels like a major disturbance. It is a perfect choice for children who are going through a phase of dissatisfaction with their surroundings or need a gentle lesson in perspective and gratitude. The story follows Sam the bear, who finds his house too noisy and decides to bring in farm animals to help, only to realize that his original 'noisy' home was actually quite peaceful. Through humor and repetitive elements, the book explores themes of frustration and appreciation. It helps children understand that things could always be more chaotic, and it validates their sensory experiences while offering a silly way to reframe them. At its heart, it is a classic 'grass is greener' tale adapted for the preschool and early elementary set, making it an excellent tool for social-emotional learning around contentment.
