Too loud? Too bright? Too much? This book gets it.

When My Brain Is Messy is a gentle, neuro-affirming picture book created to help young children make sense of sensory overwhelm and big feelings.

Written in rhyme by an autistic mum, this story follows a young dinosaur who feels everything deeply and learns simple ways to feel safe and settled again. Through soothing language and relatable experiences, children are given the words and tools that help them understand what's happening when everything around them feels too much, and grown-ups are offered an easy way to build emotional connection through story.

Ideal for ages 2-8, this book is especially loved by families of autistic, ADHD, sensory-sensitive children, and kids who feel big feelings.

Whether you're reading it at bedtime, after a meltdown, or during quiet moments together, When My Brain Is Messy helps children feel seen, and reminds them that there's nothing wrong with them. Sometimes, their brain just gets a little messy. And that's okay.
