Max has Sensory Processing Disorder, specifically, she is a Sensory Seeker. Max is also the self-proclaimed mischievous alter-ego of a quirky little girl named Bethany. Max lives out loud in full-throttle, and through a light-hearted true narrative of her toddler-hood, the reader gets to see the world through the very funny and unique lens of this special little girl. Her disability may shape her, but it does not define her. Max can give anyone a run for their money.
As a mother of a child with SPD, as well as an educator in elementary special education, KC Hopkins has learned how easy it is for parents to see only the disorder and miss seeing the child themselves. In this book, readers see Max, in all of her Max-ness - the good, the bad, and the messy, to laugh and learn with her in her world, including her all too familiar episodes involving Sharpies, Silly Putty, and the ever unpredictable Santa photos.
