The Loud Place: A Little Story for Children When Everything Feels Too Much

£10.99
Supermarkets. Soft play. School halls. Places that are ordinary to most people and genuinely too much for some children. The Loud Place is a story about being in one of them. It describes the way noise stops being separate sounds, the way light gets sharp, the way a body starts looking for the exit before the mind knows why. It does not suggest the child should cope better with it. What it offers instead is recognition and a small, doable way through: something to look for, something to hold, somewhere to put your attention until the world comes back down to size. For the adults navigating busy places alongside them. Part of Little Signals: gentle stories about what bodies do when feelings get big. For children aged 4–8. A children's picture book. *Printed to order. Dispatched within 3–5 working days.
