Book Hero thinking about your next read

This Beach Is Loud! gently offers practical advice for coping with new experiences to sensitive children on and off the autism spectrum, or those with sensory processing disorders.

This Beach Is Loud! gently offers practical advice for coping with new experiences to sensitive children on and off the autism spectrum. USP's: #ownvoices: This series is very near and dear to the author, Samantha's, heart: she herself is on the autism spectrum, and a close family member is as well. Not just for kids on the autism spectrum: The introduction to new foods might be more overwhelming for a child with autism than for a neurotypical child, but many kids start out as picky eaters. Entertaining and useful, too: On the surface, the stories told in this series are fun, light-hearted, and sweet, but they also contain powerful tools for parents with sensitive kids, and a wonderful way for sensitive kids to see themselves. A proven method: The parent in this book utilizes a strategy for food introduction embraced by Dr. Emily Kuschner PhD of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Filling a void: There is such a need and market for fun, helpful books geared toward kids on the spectrum. The author has already been getting an overwhelming response. Start of an exciting new series: we are publishing two Little Senses books on our Summer 2020 list and Penguin has two more in the works, which we will have a β€œfirst look” on.
