Wren's Picture Day: Finding Her Yes in a Sensory WorldA tender, authentic story about navigating overwhelming sensations and finding your way back to calmSome days feel too loud, too scratchy, too much. For Wren, picture day is one of those days. She loves her soft blue dress with the silky ribbon, but the required tights twist and whisper ""no, no, no"" against her skin. The shiny shoes pinch her toes, the lights buzz too loudly, and everyone expects her to smile-even when everything inside her says otherwise.

Through Wren's eyes, young readers will recognize the overwhelming sensations that can make ordinary days feel impossible: the scratch of a comb, the texture of peanut butter, the wooden stick of a popsicle. But they'll also discover Wren's quiet strength as she finds ways to hold herself together and, eventually, return to her safe space where she can shed the uncomfortable clothes, wrap herself in grandmother's soft blanket, and let her ""yes"" grow big again.

This isn't just a story about picture day-it's about the quiet courage it takes to navigate overwhelming moments, the importance of having safe spaces to return to yourself, and the beauty of honoring your own needs in a world that doesn't always understand them.

Perfect For:

Children ages 4-10 who experience sensory sensitivities Families navigating autism, ADHD, or sensory processing differences Kids who feel overwhelmed by everyday experiences Children who need validation for their big feelings Classrooms building empathy and understanding of neurodivergence Bedtime reading and quiet moments together

What Makes This Book Special:

Authentic representation of sensory experiences written by someone who lived them Beautiful, lyrical language that captures the internal world of a sensitive child Hopeful message about finding your way back to calm and honoring your needs Stunning illustrations that bring Wren's sensory world to life Validation without fixing - shows that different ways of experiencing the world are valid Practical wisdom about self-regulation and finding safe spaces Mirror for neurodivergent children and window for neurotypical readers
