ISABELA'S WORLD: When Sounds Bother Me: This is part 2 of the series that follows the journey of a "now" 5-year-old autistic girl as she navigates her ... and discovers the amazing things she can do.

Isabela’s World: When Sounds Bother Me is a gentle, beautifully illustrated story that invites readers into the world of a young girl who experiences everyday sounds in a big, sometimes overwhelming way. Inspired by the real journey of a five-year-old with autism, this book is a heartwarming tool for understanding, empathy, and support.

Through Isabela’s eyes, we learn how something as simple as a bird chirping or a baby crying can feel too loud or too much—and how calming strategies, supportive adults, and safe spaces can help her feel brave again.
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver, this story opens the door to important conversations about sensory challenges, emotional regulation, and inclusion. It’s a must-have resource for classrooms, libraries, and homes, encouraging children to recognize their own feelings and helping others better understand the children in their lives.
A comforting reminder: Different doesn’t mean less—it means learning to listen with love.
