Spectrum Sprouts is a gentle, sensory-friendly picture book series that helps autistic and neurodivergent children understand their big feelings and learn simple tools to feel safe, calm, and confident.
Each story follows Sprout, a small seedling with a big heart, and their feeling-friends—Whirl, Boom, Buzz, and Softie—as they explore what happens inside the body during overwhelm, worry, excitement, and change. Instead of shaming emotions, the books show children that feelings are visitors with messages, not problems to hide.
Through warm, pastel artwork and rhythmic, comforting text, Spectrum Sprouts teaches kids how to:
Notice body clues like tight chests, fluttery tummies, and buzzy hands
Use calm-down tools such as deep breathing, fidgets, counting, and quiet spaces
Understand that all feelings are okay, even the big and stormy ones
Build self-compassion and confidence instead of fear or shame
Created by peer support specialist and author Sarah O’Neill, the series is designed for ages 3–8 and is ideal for parents, therapists, teachers, and caregivers who want stories that honor neurodivergent kids and give them practical, affirming strategies they can really use.

My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Good guide for kids who have difficult emotions
Through Whirl, Boom, Buzz and Softie, Sprouts learns about his difficult emotions and how to handle them and there is also his toolkit that Softie teaches him. Nice illustrations and good guide for kids to handle their difficult emotions.
