Too Much! An Overwhelming Day by: Jolene Gutierrez

This delightful rhyming picture book portrays a young child—Birdy—who experiences a day that becomes overwhelming due to sensory overload. Noisy alarm clocks, bright lights, itchy clothing, and crowded spaces all contribute to a sense of chaos. The narrative guides Birdy—and readers—through coping strategies like deep breaths, seeking quiet space, and finding comforting sensory support (“sheet-hug,” “soft shirt,” “personal space”)
