When My Senses Feel Safe

When My Senses Feel Safe – A Gentle Story for Sensory-Sensitive and Autistic Children

Step into the world of a sensory-sensitive child, where everyday experiences are felt more deeply—and where feeling safe makes all the difference.

When My Senses Feel Safe is a heartfelt picture book that gives voice to children who experience the world through a different lens. Through beautifully illustrated scenes of nature, creativity, learning, and connection, young readers will discover the joy of feeling understood—and the empowerment of expressing their needs.

Written with empathy and insight, this book is perfect for:

• Neurodivergent children, including autistic kids, children with ADHD and those with sensory processing differences

• Parents, teachers, and therapists looking to better understand and support sensory needs

• Classrooms embracing inclusion and emotional intelligence

Whether your child finds calm in the forest, comfort in routine, or strength in self-advocacy, this story offers validation, encouragement, and the gentle reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe in their body and in the world.

Ideal for ages 3–8.

Windy is a Montessori-trained teacher and stay-at-home mom currently raising her children in Spain. After her child was diagnosed as autistic, she chose to pause her teaching career to offer more support at home and help ease his transition into school. During that time, she found moments to return to a lifelong passion—writing. Her debut children’s book, When My Senses Feel Safe, was inspired by her journey and created to advocate for the needs of neurodivergent children. The book reached #1 on the Polish Amazon bestseller list for children’s books about special needs, a milestone that reflects her heartfelt mission to raise awareness and understanding. Windy also runs the play-based Instagram account @childhoodelevated, where she shares open-ended and STEM play inspiration for families and educators. She enjoys spending time outdoors with her kids, as well as writing, running, and gardening.
