Pickysaurus Mac is not your typical dinosaur. Mealtimes pose a special problem for our picky little friend. Sometimes foods smell too gross to eat, they taste different than they look, and their textures feel like garbage in his mouth. His friends tell him to eat right to stay healthy but some things you just can’t fix with words. Will Pickysaurus Mac ever find something he likes? When he finds he likes it, will it be the best food for him? Will he find it in time?

Children with Sensory Processing Disorder, or SPD, must learn to navigate the crossed sensory receptors between their senses and their brain. Symptoms span a wide range, between being oversensitive or under-sensitive to stimulation of any or all of their senses. Foods pose a particular problem in the SPD child, Learning to tolerate textures, smells, and tastes sometimes makes mealtimes traumatic.
