"Make it All Go Away is such a wonderful and much-needed book to help educate children and parents in gaining more compassion and understanding for those with sensory overload, and what they experience on a day to day basis. The back matter is very helpful in further understanding of the words used to help children in dealing with sensitivity issues. The rhythmic text and colorful illustrations make this a fun read and would be a great addition to your social-emotional learning book collection! 

– Phyllis Harris, Author-Illustrator of The Gift Shop Bear

"Thoughtfully told and timely, Make It All Go Away provides profound insight and encourages empathy, all through playful prose and rich, captivating illustrations. I have no doubt it will bring encouragement, hope, and helpful information to countless families.”

– Allie Millington, author of US bestseller Olivetti

"A lovely and needed book! The beautiful, soft artwork and expressive rhymes resonated deeply with this neurodivergent reader. Docherty eloquently evokes a child's world of sensory overwhelm.”

– Sally J. Pla, ALA-award-winning author of The Fire, The Water, and Maudie McGinn and neurodiversity advocate

"This is a beautiful story that gently explores what sensory overload is and how to mitigate it. I can think of so many uses for Make it All Go Away from helping neurodiverse children understand why they might experience the world around them differently, to helping their neurotypical peers (and grown ups) gain more insight and compassion into sensory overload."

– Naomi Jones, award-winning author of Thunderboots and The Perfect Fit 

"With kid-friendly text and vibrant art, Make It All Go Away thoughtfully captures a child’s experience with sensory overload. I especially appreciate how the main character takes stock of coping techniques that are useful to her and acknowledges that the masking of emotions and behaviors generally leads to even more stress and exhaustion. This is a validating book for anyone with sensory processing challenges and an illuminating one for family members, educators, and peers."
