Recensioner i media

Many people focus on the "difficulties" in sensory processing difficulties. This book provides a more positive approach to what is, after all, just another way of perceiving the world. As Harry, one of the characters in the story, says, "...there are ways that I can make everyday life easier and more fun." With his sister, Anna, who also has sensory processing difficulties, they describe the challenges they face and how they manage them.
