Through My Eyes: Why I Cover My Ears is a beautifully written and deeply moving story that invites readers into the sensory world of a child with autism. Through Jassim’s eyes, everyday sounds become powerful storms—bells crash like shooting stars, voices roar like thunder, and the world can feel overwhelming in ways others cannot see.
With poetic storytelling and gentle honesty, this book helps children and adults understand what sensory sensitivity truly feels like. It transforms confusion into compassion, showing that covering ears is not rudeness but a brave act of self-protection.
Perfect for classrooms, families, and caregivers, this story encourages empathy, kindness, and inclusion. It reminds us all that while every mind experiences the world differently, every child deserves understanding, friendship, and a safe place to shine
