Summary
A book to help autistic children identify their sensory needs and learn coping techniques to achieve emotional regulation.
Description
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
Critic Reviews
"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"
