What Do I Really Want?

By Andrea Sandoval

What Do I Really Want? A Social Story for Kids with Big Feelings
Diego is a boy with a big imagination... and even bigger feelings.
But sometimes, those feelings come out in confusing ways.

When he's scared, he might shout something silly.
When he's nervous, he might say the opposite of what he means.
And when people don't understand him, his feelings get even louder.

In this gentle and beautifully illustrated story, Diego learns how to recognize what he really wants and how to say it clearly.
With support from his family and teachers, Diego begins to understand that his words have power-and they can help others understand what's in his heart.Perfect for children ages 4 - 9Created with love for autistic and neurodivergent kidsHelps kids build emotional awareness and communication skillsA helpful tool for parents, teachers, and therapists
"What Do I Really Want?" is the second book by Andrea and Diego, the creative team behind Talking to My Parents. Inspired by real experiences with their son, this book offers a relatable and empowering story for children who sometimes say one thing... but feel another inside.
