“So happy to see Lily return to us! This second book chronicles Lily's experience at the pool with her father. Her Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) makes this experience hard for her to enjoy...We all cheer for Lily as she works through this obstacle.
I love how this book can both introduce AND normalize SPD. Whether you have a child with SPD and want to see their experience represented, or want to explain SPD to your children and create empathy for others' experiences, this is a book for all families to enjoy. Welcome back, Lily!”

Lily and the Snow
“Lily and the Snow” is an insightful story that allows the reader a glimpse into the experience of a young girl navigating the ever-changing world around her. While the story unfolds, you find yourself rooting for Lily and are reminded that small victories can actually have a big impact and are always worth celebrating. As a speech-language pathologist who has worked with many neurodivergent clients, I immediately appreciated the therapeutic value of this story as well, from its different examples of emotional regulation, to its rich vocabulary and opportunities for speech sound practice (so many s-blends!). Combined with the beautiful illustrations, this story was a joy to read!

Lily and the Snow is a sweet story about Lily and her aversion to snow. With her mother’s unwavering support, Lily finds some courage, puts on her coat and boots and agrees to venture outside. Many children and their caregivers will be able to relate to and connect with Lily and the Snow. This insightful story will deeply resonate with those families affected by Sensory Processing Disorder. This book is beautifully illustrated and fun to read aloud - it would be a great addition to any child’s library!
