And also even the eye contact.

I made sure that especially with that third book, that the eyes weren't directly looking at the teacher's eyes for the majority of the book.

And it's just those subtle details that when you add them all up together, I was just hoping to create a piece that would just really connect

and resonate with a lot of readers that could really see themselves in these books.

first one that I had written was called Nope, Never, Not for Me.

And that's basically about exploring new foods and learning how to

try new food when you may be in your quote unquote rut of always having the same foods, which I'm still that way today, but it's gotten a lot better as an adult.

And it's just, instead of having your basic kind of standard plot of trying a food that you didn't think you would like, and then suddenly liking it, here we have a situation where a child is faced with a food

that she's not at all interested in, but she gets to try it through not only taste, but through quote unquote, playing with the food, touching the food, kissing the food, just really getting to know the food and get a relationship where she then has the courage to try something.

And she doesn't end up liking it, but what she's learned is that she can try foods and it may encourage her to try more.

And just also using a passion of hers as a way to get her interested in trying new foods.

So she's a very dinosaur obsessed girl.

And when she discovers that she doesn't like this piece of broccoli, she's just devastated because she always thought she was a plant eater.

And as her mother points out, well, she's a triceratops using the words try with T-R-Y.

And in that case, just giving her that connection to something she loves would get her really excited about trying new foods.

And so this was just all about exploring and learning how to try something and just be excited in the successes of being able to do that.

This speech is loud.

It was the second one that came out.

And this one is about sensory overload situations that can arise when you're going to a new place.

that may be just much more loud than you expected or crowded and how, how all of that coming at you can create a situation where you just explode and just giving you tools on how to handle and recognize when things are starting to get a little bit tough inside, whether it's just all the sensory input is just taking over and how can you get through that situation to a place where you can enjoy what you're doing.
