Children are often picky eaters, but for kids on the autism spectrum or with sensory issues (such as sensory processing disorder), trying new foods can be especially challenging. Nope! Never! Not for Me! is a deceptively simple story that guides sensitive kids through trying a new food, with support and encouragement aplenty.

In Nope! Never! Not for Me! a young child refuses to try a bite of broccoli - that is, until her mum guides her through a careful exploration of the new food. First, she looks, then she sniffs, then touches, and finally takes one tiny bite. What do you know? Broccoli isn't so overwhelming after all!
