Noah Can Ask for a Break

Noah is a sensory seeker with a big, busy body—and he is learning something powerful: when things feel too hard, he can ask for a break.

Follow Noah through a preschool day as his shoulders rise, his legs bounce, and his body tells him he needs help. When Noah holds up his BREAK card, his teacher responds right away, and Noah gets the space he needs to reset, breathe, and return to the same activity ready to try again.

Perfect for:

• neurodivergent preschoolers and early elementary children
• families teaching self-advocacy, body awareness, and regulation skills
• speech, OT, SPED, and social-emotional learning libraries
• read-alouds at home, in classrooms, and in calm-down corners

This warm, repeatable social story helps children notice body signals, use a break card, and practice regulation without shame. Parents and teachers will appreciate the gentle rhythm, predictable structure, and practical back matter that supports real-world use.

For ages 3-5. Read-aloud tested and designed for repeated reading.

Add it to your shelf today and give your child a script for asking for help.
