For the little girl who holds it together at school... then falls apart when she gets home.
Meet Lucy, a clever, sensitive little girl with a very important theory.
She thinks her brain is made of glitter and sparkles.
Lucy notices tiny things other people miss. She feels deeply, loves things just right, has safe foods, finds clothes scratchy, and sometimes thinks very hard about where to put her hands or whether her face is doing the right thing.
At school, Lucy tries her best to watch, listen, smile, join in, and keep her messy sparkles tucked safely inside. People say, You were fine at school. But Lucy knows the truth.
Holding everything in all day is hard.
I Think My Brain Is Made of Glitter & Sparkles is a gentle, neurodiversity-affirming picture book for autistic girls, neurodivergent children, and sensitive kids who experience big feelings, sensory overload, safe foods, social confusion, masking, stimming, and after-school meltdowns.
This sweet and validating story helps children feel seen, understood, and proud of who they are. It also helps parents, teachers, carers, counsellors, and therapists better understand what may be happening underneath the surface.
Perfect for children who:
- feel deeply
- notice tiny details
- struggle with loud sounds, bright lights, smells, food textures, or scratchy clothes
- mask their feelings at school
- melt down after trying hard all day
- use movement, flapping, wiggling, bouncing, or squeezing to regulate
- need reassurance that different does not mean broken
Lucy's brain does not need fixing.
It shines in its own sparkly way.
