Reach for this book when your child feels misunderstood or is struggling to explain their unique sensory needs to others. It is an essential choice for families navigating a new disability diagnosis or for children who simply march to the beat of their own drum. Through the vibrant lens of a seaside Carnival, the story follows Cesaria, a young deaf girl who must advocate for herself when a teacher insists she wear shoes that block her ability to feel the music. It is a beautiful celebration of self-advocacy and sensory intelligence. Appropriate for children ages 4 to 8, this book moves beyond a simple lesson on inclusion to show how one child's perspective can enrich an entire community. Parents will appreciate the way it models gentle but firm boundary-setting. It teaches children that their way of experiencing the world is not just valid, but can be a gift to those around them when shared with confidence.
