Reach for this book when your child is facing a new, unpredictable situation or struggling with sensory sensitivities that make the world feel a bit too loud. Lauren, a young girl with autism, is preparing for a third grade mountain field trip. While she thrives on routine, the prospect of a mountain hike and a busy bus ride fills her with dread. This gentle, realistic story explores how Lauren uses her coping strategies, like her internal 'Duck Days' mantra, to manage her anxiety and find her own version of bravery. It is an ideal choice for parents of children ages 7 to 10 who want to normalize neurodivergence and discuss how everyone experiences courage differently. By following Lauren's journey, children learn that being brave doesn't mean being fearless, it means finding a way to move forward even when things feel overwhelming.
