Tappy Tia's Too-Loud Day

Tappy Tia's Too-Loud Day
An inspiring story about sensory overload, self-advocacy, and being heard without saying a word.

Tappy Tia doesn't speak with her mouth-she speaks with her tablet. And while she loves color, movement, and music, she also loves calm, quiet spaces. When it's time for a loud and exciting school assembly, Tia bravely steps into a world full of clapping, cheering, and booming drums-but soon finds herself overwhelmed by it all.

This beautifully illustrated picture book gently explores sensory overload and autistic self-advocacy through the eyes of a non-verbal child. When things get "too loud," Tia uses her AAC tablet to communicate her needs-and with the help of her caring teacher, Mrs. Harvey, she learns how to find calm and regain her confidence.

The TappyTales series is written by the TappyTots Awareness Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to giving non-verbal children a voice through free communication tools, inclusive stories, and awareness-building resources.
