I can ask for help. I can take deep breaths or count to five. I can do it!

Meet Mattie-a bright, imaginative girl who sometimes feels the world a little differently. Because Mattie has autism, loud sounds, changes in routine, or missing her favorite breakfast can make her day feel overwhelming. After a tough day filled with big feelings, Mattie isn't sure how to cope, and she needs a little extra support to find her calm again.

It's Okay, Mattie gently shows children what autism can feel like while teaching empathy, understanding, and healthy coping skills. With relatable moments and supportive guidance, this story helps kids learn that big feelings are normal, and they have the tools to manage them.

Complete with caregiver tips and discussion prompts, this uplifting book reminds every child that they deserve to be seen, understood, and valued just as they are.
