About Jolene Gutiérrez
Jolene Gutiérrez is an award-winning teacher-librarian who has been working with diverse learners at Denver Academy for the past 28 years. When she was little she would squint to protect her eyes from bright lights and cover her ears to protect herself from loud noises. Now she wears sunglasses when shes outside and brings earplugs if she thinks shell need them. She didnt immediately recognize her own kids sensory processing issues because their struggles looked different from her own. She hopes Too Much! will help caregivers and educators recognize and support sensory processing challenges. Learn more at www.jolenegutierrez.com.
