A gentle picture book for children who feel overwhelmed when familiar sounds change.
Benny the Bat loves the familiar sounds of his cave.
Flap. Drip. Squeak.
Those sounds help Benny know he is safe. But when a loud storm changes the cave echoes, Benny’s body goes on alarm.
The familiar sounds seem to disappear. Everything feels too loud, too sharp, and too different.
With the help of Luna the Bat, Benny learns how to pause, breathe, and listen for one safe sound at a time.
Benny the Bat and the Sounds That Changed is a warm, nervous-system-informed story about sound sensitivity, anxiety, overwhelm, co-regulation, and finding safety again.
This book is perfect for children who:
feel overwhelmed by loud, sudden, or unexpected sounds
become anxious when familiar routines or signals change
listen closely for signs of safety, connection, or danger
struggle with sensory overload or auditory sensitivity
need simple coping tools for nervous-system regulation
Created by Jackie Flynn, psychotherapist, play therapist, EMDR trainer, and teacher of therapists, this story gives parents, caregivers, teachers, counselors, occupational therapists, and therapists a compassionate way to help children understand that their body and brain are trying to protect them.
A supportive book for homes, classrooms, counseling offices, playrooms, occupational therapy spaces, and trauma-informed therapy settings.
