Jessica Sinarski is a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health and a Certified Adoption Therapist. She is a presenter, bilingual author and clinical supervisor. She has written several books about ‘Riley the Brave’ that advise parents and professionals on dealing with issues such as transition into school and coping with strong emotions.
In this story book for young children, Riley wants to go to the fair, but he is worried about the lights, sounds and smells. He finds even going to school is a challenge for him. Riley gets help from ‘ a therapist who helps brave students like Riley’, and, by the end of the story, he is happily enjoying the fair.
This deceptively simple story includes a significant amount of information about sensory processing and strategies that can support children who are easily overwhelmed. An afterward section also provides adults with additional information about the senses and additional resources.
