Picky, Picky Pete

September 14, 2021 by jennifer 4 Comments

Written by Michele Griffin, an occupational therapist, this picture book is a must-have for any child with sensory processing disorder.

Picky, Picky Pete

By Michele Griffin

Pete finds his clothes uncomfortable and can’t stand “paint, soap, and things with lumps.”  He explains this to his mother and the reader in this fun children’s book, as he and mom navigate a difficult, but typical, morning in the life of a young boy with sensory issues.

About the Author

Michele Griffin is a pediatric occupational therapist.  While working as a therapist, she was intrigued by the children who were ‘extra-sensitive’. They often demonstrated strong dislikes for haircuts, loud noises, tags in shirts, seams on socks and food with lumps. Sensitive children  or those with ‘sensory issues’ are challenging for parents to rear! Therefore, these children and their parents were the inspiration for this book.  She hopes this book will help foster communication, tolerance and understanding between parent and child.

    My kids enjoyed This is Gabriel: Making Sense of School, and would love to read more about kids who have similar experiences to them.

    “Picky Picky Pete”, “Issue Tissue featuring Ricky Sticky”, and “Paige Finds Her Perfect Fit” are all books that I am interested in for my child and home. Another great Author is Angie Voss and I am looking forward to her newest book. One that I would like to own as well is “The Out-Of-Sync Child” by Carol Kranowitz and Lucy Jane Miller PhD. OTR
