Join May and her cherished stuffed spider, Harriet, as May learns to be brave and step out of her comfort zone in this joyful story about being different.Sometimes the world can be too much for May. Too loud. Too busy. Too people-y. But then she spies Harriet, a gloriously big stuffed spider, and takes her home. Soon May and Harriet become inseparable. Snug in a Harriet hug, May can brave public places; when things are too loud, Harriet's legs can act as earplugs. With Harriet by her side, May feels safe, and the world feels less scary.
This playful and empathetic look at sensory sensitivities celebrates the different ways people experience the world around them and provides a relatable hero for all children. Parents will appreciate the tender message that May's differences are something to be loved and celebrated, not problems that need to be fixed.
