It's So Difficult

Reach for this book when you notice your child vibrating with invisible tension before school or retreating from sensory-heavy environments that others seem to navigate with ease. This quiet, evocative story explores the inner world of a young boy for whom every daily task, from getting dressed to walking through a crowded hallway, feels like climbing a mountain. It captures the exhausting grit required to exist in a world that feels too loud, too fast, and too much. While the narrative addresses the heavy weight of sensory processing and neurodivergence, it remains profoundly hopeful. It validates the courage of children who must work twice as hard to achieve 'ordinary' things, making it an essential tool for building self-compassion and resilience in children ages 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it translates internal struggle into a visual language that is both poetic and grounded in reality.
