Laila is a planner--she has charts for everything. As the story opens, she's planning for her birthday party. What will she wear? What games will everyone play? When should the cake be served? Wait....Lightning! Clouds! Her birthday party is ruined!!! "A sparkly SUNSHINE celebration" was guaranteed for all! Before a meltdown takes control of everything, Mommy has some great ideas. Change doesn't have to mean disaster. The indoor unicorn obstacle-course race is a success--until whoops--there goes the cake! A nervous tummy doesn't have to mean the party's over. Laila's mom has her child take a few minutes of regroup-time with service dog Charlie. And guess what? The birthday kid realizes that unexpected surprises aren't all bad. Unicorn ice cream cones, a jar full of colorful paper wishes, and a cutout smiling sun save the day. Cotterill's Little Senses series, addressing anxiety and challenges faced by children with sensory processing disorder and/or on the autistic spectrum, is so upbeat and helpful that parents everywhere can employ these coping mechanisms with any child. The deceptively simple illustrations are dynamic and engaging all on their own--from the little details of Laila soothing herself by foot-petting Charlie to Laila's look of triumph when she overcomes her disappointment. Laila and Mommy present Black, as does one of her two guests; the other presents White. On-point closing suggestions provided by a children's mental health expert round out the positive experience. (This book was reviewed digitally with 10-by-16-inch double-page spreads viewed at actual size.) A nonjudgmental approach for gently teaching how to deal with life's setbacks.
