It Was Supposed to Be Sunny by Samantha Cotterill

I love love love these picture books in the Little Senses series. This one, about dealing with change and disappointment, is a great choice for kids who struggle with changes to the plan. Laila is presumed neurodiverse (she uses a picture schedule and has a service dog), but both neurodiverse and neurotypical children who struggle with change may find this story useful. Not only does it demonstrate a child coping when change is hard, but it presents some coping mechanisms (updating the picture schedule, taking some time in a quiet spot, remembering a time when you dealt with change and repeating the mantra "I've been through this before and I can do it again") that may help children learn to cope.

I get asked on the regular for picture books about helping kids deal when "things aren't perfect" and I think this is a story that will fit the bill!
