More than a children’s book, Too Bright, Too Tight, Too Hot is a calming tool for families navigating sensory overwhelm. Through five immersive second-person stories with guided reflections and parent tips, it helps you understand and support your child when textures, temperatures, or lights become “too much.” No bright illustrations — just imagination, connection, and presence.

To keep things hassle-free for families, we provide free shipping across the USA + Canada.

This isn’t just a children’s book — it’s a grounding, gentle tool for families navigating autism, ADHD, and sensory sensitivity. With its five stories, it carries the emotional and educational depth of 5 books in one, helping you connect with your child when the world feels overwhelming.

Created by Alex Lesage (father, neurodiversity advocate, and the voice behind The Safe Space Series), this softcover book contains 5 immersive second-person stories – each the length of a typical children’s book – that place your child inside each moment with calm, validating language. After every story, you’ll find guided reflection questions and parent coaching tips to help you understand what’s happening beneath the behaviour — and connect instead of correct.

Each chapter explores a real sensory challenge, the kinds of moments that hit “too hot, too tight, too bright” for a neurodivergent child:

  • Clothing that feels scratchy, stiff, or “wrong”
  • Overheating during play or physical activity
  • Lights that feel sharp, glaring, or painful
  • Being trapped in uncomfortable textures or spaces
  • A final story that reframes sensory intensity as intuitive wisdom, not a flaw

There are no bright illustrations. No cartoon distractions. Only imagination, presence, and emotional clarity.

Read it slowly. Read it together.

This volume bridges the gap between your child’s sensory world and yours — helping them feel understood, and helping you support them with confidence, compassion, and calm.

It’s part bedtime story, part reflection journal, part parent guide — created with warmth and intention.
