# Too Much!: An Overwhelming Day - Hardcover

by **Jolene Gutiérrez** (Author), **Angel Chang** (Illustrator)

**A reassuring rhyming picture book about sensory overload and what you can do when everything is too much**

_When feelings go_ _on overload,_  
_I pause and breathe_  
_and all is . . ._ _slowed._

Sometimes everything is too much! Too loud, too bright, and all too overwhelming. Writing from her own experience with sensory processing disorder, Jolene Gutiérrez's compassionate picture book explores the struggles of a sensorily sensitive child and how they settle themselves. Joined by Angel Chang's beautiful illustrations, young readers will learn that it's OK if some days are too much. An extensive author's note to caregivers and educators explores sensory systems, sensory processing issues, and specific information about how to support kids with overstimulated nervous systems as they learn to soothe themselves.

### Author Biography

**Jolene Gutiérrez** is an award-winning teacher-librarian who has been working with diverse learners at Denver Academy for the past 28 years. When she was little, she would squint to protect her eyes from bright lights and cover her ears to protect herself from loud noises. Now, she wears sunglasses when she's outside and brings earplugs if she thinks she'll need them. She didn't immediately recognize her own kids' sensory processing issues because their struggles looked different from her own. She hopes _Too Much!_ will help caregivers and educators recognize and support sensory processing challenges.

It took a long time for her to learn that her feelings matter as much as everyone else's. She hopes this book will help young readers realize theirs do too. Chang is the illustrator of _Most of the Better Natural Things in the World_; _Just Like Me_; and _Lunar New Year Around the World_. She lives in Taiwan with a cat who loves to chew papers and sleep on books. Learn more at angelchangart.com.
