Meneos, Pisotones, Y Apretones Para Calmar Mi Cosquilleo

This is a story about sensory differences and how some children experience their world, told from a child's perspective. The vibration in her feet when she runs, the tap-tap-tap of her fork on the table at mealtime, the trickle of cool water running over her hands---these are the things that calm her jitters down.This book is for anyone who has ever felt the need for a wiggle, stomp, or squeeze!



 

Lindsey Parker is a mom on the tail-end of toddler-hood, and embracing the next phase of parenting while learning to navigate and advocate for her autistic daughter. With a recent adult diagnosis of ADHD and a new, deeper understanding of her own sensory experiences, she has begun to delve into the neurodiversity community, learning all she can from neurodiverse voices. This is her first picture book, and she hope it connects with everyone who has felt the need for a wiggle, stomp, or squeeze! Rebecca Burgess is an autistic illustrator living in the UK.
