Our friends in Ms. Bunny Brown’s first grade classroom have choices to make as they navigate unpleasant sensory experiences. For Elliot the elephant, the noise of the classroom can be too loud. Skip the squirrel finds it difficult to sit still at his desk. And Maddie the Monkey feels that her new clothes are just too itchy! Readers of the book observe these instances of sensory dysregulation and the productive choices the characters make, which offers behavioral alternatives while ensuring readers they are not alone.

Written as an undergraduate Honors Thesis Project, this book is research-based and created in collaboration with physical and occupational therapists, teachers, parents, and professionals in autism research.
