My son loved it

My son struggles with interacting when things get loud. Having 4 other siblings…well, you get it. Things get LOUD! He’s definitely a Sensory AVOIDER! This book helped him to see that it’s OK to find a quiet place to just be alone and take time for yourself. 100% recommend!

These books are gifts beyond price…

The boy who searched for silence is so good for children with autism. My grandson requests it a lot. Last night he told me that he knows how to find silence. He said he does snuggle breathing. Thank you!

Fab book to highlight mindful silence

Fab story of how a boy found silence within himself. Liked how it mentions the noisy distractions continue around him, but wished he'd been distracted by one of them & had to intentionally regain the silence, just to normalise it not being there no matter what, after finding it.
