"Praise for King's Day Out! I highly recommend that every parent read this book to their child before…any new adventure!"
Donna Seim, MA in Special Education & Award-winning author
"... This is a very exciting and much needed series to help bridge the gap for those who have sensory processing needs!"
Dr. Gretchen Hyfsong, OTD/OTRL
When a boy with sensory processing challenges and his puppy have their senses tested at the car wash, the tools learned in OT help them overcome their fears and anxieties to ensure a fun day out.
“Maggie van Galen's newest book, King's Day Out, is highly recommended. It is the touching of a boy and his dog and how they help each other through a new adventure, a ride through the car wash! With delightful illustrations and Maggie's storytelling abilities, it is a very successful day out!”
—Donna Seim
“As Maggie's Co-Author for King's Day Out, I can attest to her talent, attention to detail and ability to capture concepts and ideas in words that kiddos can embrace, engage with and learn from. Looking forward to continuing writing adventures with Maggie!”
—Amy Wheadon
