Some children hear the world a little louder than others.
A Built for Big Things book.
Oscar lives in a quiet world - a calm, ordered place where everything has its proper spot, and where he notices the tiny details everyone else rushes past. He loves space more than anything, and knows every planet by heart. But school is loud and unpredictable, and some days the noise and the crowding pile up until his whole day tilts and wobbles.
Then Oscar's mum tells him about his wonderful mind: his brain is autistic. He feels things more deeply, notices what others miss, and likes to know what's coming - and none of that is wrong. With ear defenders, a picture timetable, and a quiet corner of his own, school slowly starts to feel more like his quiet world. And when the class begins a topic on space, Oscar discovers the best feeling of all: someone asking to come into his quiet world - and stay.
A gentle, affirming picture book about autism and sensory sensitivity, for every child who feels the world a little more deeply - and for everyone who loves them. Oscar and his Quiet World reassures young readers that their way of seeing the world is a gift.
Inside you'll find:
- A warm, affirming story about autism, routine, and a much-loved subject
- Beautiful, full-page illustrations on every spread
- A Make Your Own Quiet Corner activity so children can build a calm place of their own
- A short note for grown-ups with caring, practical guidance
Perfect for ages 5-9, for classrooms and bedtime, and a thoughtful gift for any child who needs the world turned down a little.
Everyone needs a quiet place sometimes - and that is perfectly okay.
