This deceptively simple story guides sensitive kids through trying a
new food, with support and encouragement aplenty.
Children are often picky eaters, but for kids on the autism spectrum or
with sensory issues, trying new foods can be especially challenging. In
Nope! Never! Not for Me! a young child refuses to try a bite of
broccoli--that is, until her mom guides her through a careful
exploration of the new food. First she looks, then she sniffs, then
touches, and finally takes one tiny bite. What do you know? Broccoli
isn't so overwhelming after all!
With simple, reassuring text and bold illustrations in a limited
palette, Nope! Never! Not For Me! espouses a patient approach to picky
eating and empowers kids to explore new experiences without stress or
pressure.
