Review Quotes

As a mama of not one, but TWO special needs kiddos who struggle with sensory overload, I found this little story to be so wonderfully perfect. The way Alcott portrayed how a kid's brain processes the five senses is phenomenal. It's a book I highly recommend to anyone with littles, especially so they can understand, appreciate, and respect the things that make other kids different from them.

Thank you to the author for writing about such an important topic!- S.Lane

My girls love this sweet book. I think anyone's child can benefit from this one. We live in an over stimulating world.- Santana Saunders, Author of the Pearl in the Darkness.

Delightful, lovely, and beautifully illustrated, this book brought a smile to my face and a warm hug to my heart...and I'm an adult. I love this book. It's for everyone who's ever felt a little bit different. Wonderful!- Robin Castle, Author of Related by Murder

Anne is so talented. She tells this story of a boy being overwhelmed by sensory overload, and overcoming it with the help of a new little friend, in such a beautiful and educational way. And, to top it off, she also gives each page LIFE with her illustrations.

I'm so impressed with this book!!

I highly recommend it to all parents and little ones- Tenaya MKD, Author of New Identity
