Mother, son writing team show what life is like for kids with sensory sensitivities in Bash and Lucy: Fetch Team Vera and the Dream Beasts

I’m pleased to partner with BeachBoundBooks in coordinating a Book Blast for Lisa & Michael Cohn's newest children's book, Bash and Lucy: Fetch Team Vera and the Dream Beasts. Their book speaks to me as a former special educator as the authors address challenges faced by kids for whom certain sights and sounds send them into sensory overload.  

I've worked with many children and parents to address this unique style, so I'm over the moon to see more authors tackle the issue.  tbh, I only had time to skim the book as I'm consumed with RIGHTsizing, but I loved my first glimpse. With its kid-friendly layout and font (no visual distractions here!) and bright pictures providing context clues for each chapter, it's perfect for beginning readers or reading aloud.  Plus, Bash and Lucy offer tons of discussion possibilities about inclusion and bullying.

Please read on to:

• Meet the authors, an award-winning mom/young son duo
• Watch a video interview with sensory sensitive kids
• Preview the Cohn's book 
• Enter to win a $25 gift card/Pay Pal cash giveaway (details at the end)

The Book Blast runs May 21 - May 23, 2018.  
Giveaway ends 4 June.
 Happy tales and good luck!

He counts on his dog, Lucy, to help keep him calm. But Paula, Bash's girl-power cousin, is causing all sorts of trouble.
