Yellow Dress Day - Author Michelle Worthington

Ava chooses her dress based on the weather—red for hot days, purple for rainy days, and blue for cold ones. But when a whistling, whirly, windy day arrives and her beloved yellow dress is nowhere to be found, Ava and her puppy must find a new way to face the day.

Yellow Dress Day is a tender and beautifully illustrated story that celebrates routine, self-expression, and the small but meaningful ways children navigate their worlds. Perfect for children with sensory preferences or unique needs, this book resonates with families and educators alike.

Why we, and schools, love it:

• Promotes emotional resilience and routine through color and clothing
• Gently affirms the experiences of neurodiverse children
• Perfect for discussions on weather, emotions, and self-regulation
