My Friend Seymour
Andrew struggles with the overwhelming world outside his door, leaving his new swing set untouched. But when a tiny friend needs his help, he takes a brave first step toward confidence, connection, and self‑discovery. What begins as a small act of kindness becomes a journey that helps Andrew see the world in a new way.
My Friend Seymour is a heartfelt picture book inspired by the real‑life experiences of a young boy with autism and sensory processing disorder. Through gentle storytelling and warm, expressive illustrations, this story celebrates courage, empathy, and the power of small steps.
Perfect for families, educators, and therapists, My Friend Seymour offers reassurance to children who face sensory challenges and encouragement to those learning to navigate a big, sometimes overwhelming world.
