Critics Review
“It Was Supposed to Be Sunny is a brilliant, engaging story that describes the intense emotions experienced by an autistic child, and the ways her mother’s understanding, reassurance, and guidance give her just what she needs to cope with change. This book is a ray of sunshine.” —Tony Attwood, author of The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome
“Cotterill’s Little Senses series, addressing anxiety and challenges faced by children with sensory processing disorder and/or on the autistic spectrum, is so upbeat and helpful that parents everywhere can employ these coping mechanisms with any child … The deceptively simple illustrations are dynamic and engaging … . On-point closing suggestions provided by a children’s mental health expert round out the positive experience.” —Kirkus
