by Sarah Palmer (Author), Iryna Boiarska (Illustrator)

A Sensory Processing Story About Getting Dressed!

"The seams on Daisy's school socks, when she stands give her the jitters.

They move and squish beneath her toes, they feel like caterpillars."

Is your child sensitive to clothing?

Are they bothered by tags and seams?

Do they avoid brushing their hair or teeth?

Daisy's Super Sense of Touch is a neuro affirming story about a little girl's touch sensitivities.

Told in lyrical rhyme, this story takes the reader along with Daisy during her morning routine. Overwhelmed by the feeling of her clothing and self-care tasks, Daisy struggles to get dressed for school.

"Jellyfish stinging! Crabs nipping! Mice scratching! Caterpillars squishing!"

Will the feelings become too much for Daisy to process? Or can Daisy find a way to get ready for the day?
