The Foods That Feel Safe is a tender, empowering story told through the eyes of Queen, a bright 7-year-old autistic Black girl who experiences food in her own special way.
Queen loves her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, baked chicken, and strawberries - foods that make her tummy feel calm and her heart feel safe. But when new foods appear on her plate, her world feels a little too loud, too bright, and too much.
Through gentle storytelling and warm, sensory-rich illustrations, Queen and her loving mom show readers that it's okay to eat in ways that feel right for you. This book beautifully captures the love, patience, and understanding shared between a mother and child - reminding us that safety, trust, and kindness make every bite easier.
✨ Perfect for:
Families raising autistic or sensory-sensitive children
Teachers, therapists, and counselors who want to promote empathy and inclusion
Storytimes that celebrate neurodiversity, love, and understanding
Readers of When Words Are Hard, The Storm Inside Me, The Genius Inside Me, and My Stims Are My Superpowers
With its soothing color palette, expressive characters, and heartfelt message, The Foods That Feel Safe helps children and adults alike see that love is the most nourishing thing of all.
