Reach for this book when your child seems consistently out of sync with the pace of the world, particularly if they experience meltdowns during transitions or become distressed in noisy, high-stimulation environments. This story validates the experience of a child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) or sensory sensitivities, explaining how a 'rushed' world can feel physically and emotionally overwhelming. It moves beyond simple behavior and looks at the underlying neurological experience of sensory integration. Parents will find this a powerful tool for building self-advocacy skills in children aged 4 to 8. It transforms the 'difficult' behavior of slowing down into a necessary act of self-care, helping children find the words to ask for the patience and space they need to process their surroundings.
