Age: Preschool-1st grade
Identity: Autism

Initially excited to go, one boy experiences sensory overload at the beach. It's busy and loud and the overwhelmed boy is determined to go home. Attentive and calm, the father moves their beach gear to a quieter spot and encourages the boy to take a deep breath and tap his fingers while counting to three.

Simple text and bright illustrations make this a welcome addition for picture books about autistic children.
