Social Emotional Book Set for Kids, 3 Picture Books PDF Bundle, Autism ADHD Gift, Ages 4-8, The Adam Series Books 1-3

Three calm social emotional picture books from The Adam Series in one printable set, a thoughtful gift for children aged 4 to 8.

Three gentle picture books from The Adam Series in one set, for the child who needs a little more time, a quiet moment, or to know what comes next. A thoughtful gift to read together, delivered as an instant digital download, so there is nothing to ship and nothing to wait for.

Meet Adam. In Book 1, "Adam Takes His Time", he goes out to buy new shoes. New places and new things can take Adam a little longer, and that's OK. When he needs a pause, he has a phrase of his own: "I need a minute". In Book 2, "Adam Finds His Quiet", a birthday party gets too loud. Adam covered his ears. "Mama," he whispered. "It's too loud." Mama helps him find a quiet spot under a big tree, he puts on his soft ear defenders, and when he is ready, he chooses to go back to the party, his way. In Book 3, "Adam Goes to the Doctor", it is check-up day. In the car, Adam says, "Tell me first," and Dad names each step. Ring, ring. Beep! Thump-thump, thump-thump. "That's your heart," says the doctor. A little tortoise hides on every story page and on the cover of each book, and a rhyme at the start of each book invites your child to find him, at their own pace.

"The Adam Series" is a set of gentle, illustrated stories for children who move at their own pace, find noise and busy places hard, or like to know what is coming, and an easy way for grown-ups to start a conversation. Many children who are often misunderstood, feel sounds strongly or find new places hard may see themselves in Adam, including autistic children, children with ADHD and other neurodivergent children.

A story for every way to be.

HOW THE THREE BOOKS FIT TOGETHER
The same boy, Adam, and the same little tortoise appear in all three books. Each book is a different everyday moment: an outing (Book 1), a party (Book 2) and a check-up (Book 3). Each one gives Adam a simple phrase of his own, and Mama or Dad answers with patience. The books can be read in order or on their own, whichever moment fits your child's week.
