A gentle, rhyming picture book for children with siblings who have PDA, ODD, ADHD, or intense emotional outbursts.

Some children live with a sister who feels everything more. They are louder, faster, and bigger than most.
This story is for them.

Told through the eyes of a young girl, My Sister Is a Storm helps children understand what’s happening when a sibling struggles with explosive behavior, shutdowns, or emotional overwhelm. It gives voice to the confusion, fear, and love that can live side by side in sibling relationships, especially when one child is neurodivergent or behaviorally complex.

Written in calming rhyme and paired with warm, expressive illustrations, this story offers:

• Reassurance that the storm isn’t their fault

• Gentle language to talk about fear, frustration, and love

• Simple tools to feel safer during emotional blowups

• A reminder that love is steady, even when behavior is not

Perfect for ages 3 to 6, this book was created to support early conversations in families navigating PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder), ADHD, or other emotional and behavioral challenges.

Whether read at home, in therapy, or in the classroom, My Sister Is a Storm opens the door for honest conversations and emotional validation for the children often left in the middle of the chaos.

A companion edition, My Brother Is a Storm, is also available.
