Being in My Brain
The Life of an Autistic ChildStep into the world of a child who experiences life in his own remarkable way.
Through gentle rhyme and expressive watercolor illustrations, Being in My Brain gives young readers a heartfelt glimpse into the emotions, sensory experiences, comforts, and joys of an autistic child.
Sometimes the world feels loud. New people can make his heart beat fast. Big feelings may lead him to flap, spin, cry, or seek quiet time alone. But behind every response is a child who feels deeply, loves fully, and wants to be understood.
I love being me,
And I hope you can too.Written from a child's perspective, this uplifting picture book gently explores:
- Sensory sensitivity and overwhelming feelings
- Flapping, spinning, and other forms of self-expression - The comfort of familiar places and routines - Different ways of showing happiness and love - Empathy, belonging, and self-acceptance - The truth that every child deserves to feel valuedAs the story unfolds, its message grows beyond autism and becomes a celebration of all children:
Some of us are quiet.
Some of us are loud. Some of us stand in the front, Some blend with the crowd.Perfect for children ages 4-7, Being in My Brain can help families, teachers, classmates, and caregivers begin meaningful conversations about neurodiversity, kindness, emotions, and inclusion.
This warm and reassuring story reminds children that being different never means being less-and that every person has dreams, feelings, strengths, and a special way of experiencing the world.
A beautiful read-aloud for:
- Families of autistic and neurodivergent children
- Classrooms and school libraries - Autism acceptance and inclusion discussions - Social-emotional learning - Bedtime reading and quiet connection - Helping children feel seen, understood, and proud of who they areWith a loving dedication inspired by the patience, compassion, and unconditional support of family, Being in My Brain is ultimately a story about understanding one another-and learning to celebrate what makes every child unique.
Because every brain is unique.
And every story matters.Also from
