Too Much!

A reassuring rhyming picture book about sensory overload and what you can do when everything is too much

Sometimes everything is too much! Too loud, too bright, and all too overwhelming.

Writing from her own experience with sensory processing disorder, award-winning teacher-librarian Jolene Gutiérrez's compassionate picture book explores the struggles of a sensorily sensitive child and how they settle themselves.

Joined by Angel Chang's beautiful color illustrations, young readers will learn that it's OK if some days are too much.

An extensive author's note to caregivers and educators explores sensory systems, sensory processing issues, and specific information about how to support kids with overstimulated nervous systems as they learn to soothe themselves.

​When feelings go on overload,
I pause and breathe
and all is . . . slowed.
