Meet a little autistic dinosaur with a big heart and even bigger feelings. From the challenges of loud noises and bright lights to the need for deep pressure and moments of calm, this heartfelt story offers a gentle, relatable way to explore sensory and emotional needs.

Written in simple, engaging rhyme and paired with vibrant illustrations, this book helps children:

Recognise and express their sensory needs. Feel seen and validated in their emotions. Discover techniques for finding balance and regulation.

Watching the dinosaur's tummy light up with a happy rainbow when it feels regulated, your child will see their own journey reflected back to them with warmth and hope.

Inspired by the real-life experiences of an autistic mother, this story is more than just a book. It's a message of hope, understanding, and celebration for neurodivergent children and their families.

Whether you're the parent of a neurodivergent child, a caregiver, a therapist, or a teacher, this book is a heartfelt way to spark conversations, build empathy, and create connections.

Perfect for ages 2-8

Reviews for When My Brain is Messy

"""When My Brain Is Messy is a beautiful rhyming story that follows a loveable young dinosaur through some challenges with sensory differences. It offers a number of regulatory techniques that kids will recognise (mine certainly did). Fun to read again and again, this children's book both validates and delights! Highly recommended"" Dr Kylie Brownfield, Clinical Psychologist"
