Autumn Apple Pie: A Fun Sensory Guide for Baking a Pie in the Fall (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295433061)

This story was created with love and intention for children on the autism spectrum. Through simple language, gentle repetition, and vibrant illustrations, it invites young readers into a calm, sensory-rich world where learning feels safe, joyful, and hands-on.

At the heart of this story is the warm and comforting process of baking an autumn apple pie. From picking bright red apples to measuring ingredients and mixing the filling, each step introduces meaningful sensory experiences, smelling spices, feeling smooth apples, hearing the crunch of leaves, and watching colors glow in the fall sun. These moments help children connect textures, smells, and visual cues with real-life activities, supporting both sensory exploration and practical life skills.

Equally important is the focus on sequencing and following routines. As Cosmo and his friends gather tools, measure ingredients, roll out dough, and place everything back where it belongs, children learn the value of order, predictability, and completing tasks step-by-step. These gentle visual reminders can help build confidence, independence, and everyday organizational skills.

Whether enjoyed at home, in therapy, or in a classroom setting, this story encourages children to explore their senses, practice real-world skills, and experience the joy of working together one apple, one ingredient, and one cozy autumn moment at a time.
