About This Book
Reach for this book if your child feels overwhelmed by loud environments, struggles with physical touch, or is navigating a major life transition that feels out of their control. This moving story follows Lou Montgomery, a girl with undiagnosed sensory processing disorder who has spent her life trying to perform the way her mother expects, even though the world feels painfully loud and bright. After a car accident leads to Lou being placed in the care of her aunt and uncle, she begins the journey of understanding her neurodivergence and finding her own voice. It is a tender exploration of anxiety, sensory needs, and the complicated love between a child and a parent who is struggling. Best suited for ages 8 to 12, it offers a roadmap for self advocacy and acceptance.
