What's That Sound?

What's that sound? Maverick is curious about the sounds he hears in the world around him, but he is also a little afraid. Will it be too loud? A walk to explore helps him feel brave as he becomes more comfortable with the loud sounds he hears.



This book is great for children who may overstimulate or have sensory issues and can relate to the main character. Often young children are curious but a little bit fearful at the same time. Things that are new, big, loud, or different can seem scary at first. You can reassure them that it's OK to feel scared or nervous, and that you are there with them to keep them safe. In this story, a special friend reassures Maverick when he is feeling anxious.
