Oliver is a quiet little boy. He avoids going to places that might be too noisy or crowded like the playground, the pool, or even birthday parties.

In fact, Oliver’s favorite thing to do is play by himself in his own quiet room.

But things start to change when Odile moves in next door.
One day, Odile asks Oliver to go to the playground with her. Oliver really wants to play with Odile, but he is worried...

Will Oliver go with Odile to the playground, even though it might be very crowded and much too noisy?


"At its heart, All Too Much for Oliver is about the connection between a highly sensitive boy and a less sensitive girl. She clearly enjoys him and finds him special. She also encourages him, without judgment, to do the things he wants to do anyway. These two little children effortlessly teach us that the 20% and the 80% can be a great team."

- Elaine Aron, Ph.D., Author of "The Highly Sensitive Child"

"This book creates an excellent opportunity to help sensitive children learn how to deal with overstimulation and new ways to relate to other children in a group setting."

- Ted Zeff, Ph.D., Author of "The Strong Sensitive Boy"
