Too Much Muchness by Angela DeVere handles the heartwarming concept of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The little boy in the story finds the sun too harsh and he wishes it was night time. He finds the music in the house too loud and he feels everything in the world is too much for him. When he gets anxious, he feels like hiding somewhere. The little boy likes to play a quiet game and the story shows readers how the little boy is finding it hard to cope with his surroundings and the various sensory issues he has. The boy knows everyone finds him to be different from others, and so the book is a good tool for all those who are dealing with kids with ASD.

The story throws light on problems faced by a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder and the author captures it effectively through this story. The illustrations are wonderful and they give clarity to the author’s words and the concept. It is a good bedtime storybook and parents and grandparents can read it out to their kids and grandkids to help them understand how a child with ASD behaves. The book is good for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries, and is great for kids when it comes to understanding the behavior of someone with ASD. Books like this are good for readers as it helps them understand the behavioral patterns of those with special needs and handle them with love and care.
