Lucien is super-mega-enormously sensitive. The blender’s noise hurts his ear, bad smells make him retch, and clothing labels irritate him to no end. But what if there were some advantages to his hypersensitivity? Like his ability to recognize when a friend is feeling sad. Or his observational skills that help him find things lost in the house. And what if his hypersensitivity was a superpower? An amusing picture book for highly perceptive children, no matter whether they are somewhat, extremely, or passionately sensitive.
