{"title":"Jolene Gutiérrez","description":"Jolene Gutiérrez is an award-winning teacher-librarian who has been working with diverse learners at Denver Academy for the past 28 years. When she was little, she would squint to protect her eyes from bright lights and cover her ears to protect herself from loud noises. Now, she wears sunglasses when she's outside and brings earplugs if she thinks she'll need them. She didn't immediately recognize her own kids' sensory processing issues because their struggles looked different from her own. She hopes Too Much! will help caregivers and educators recognize and support sensory processing challenges.","products":[{"product_id":"too-much-an-overwhelming-day-hardcover","title":"Too Much!: An Overwhelming Day - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA reassuring rhyming picture book about sensory overload and what you can do when everything is too much\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sometimes everything is too much!
