About the book
Sense Able Story: Texan Tortoise on the Moon is a multi-sensory children’s book designed to be experienced, not rushed.
Readers follow a calm, thoughtful tortoise as an ordinary day fixing spaceships turns into an extraordinary journey through the atmosphere and into space. Each page combines simple rhyming text, gentle humour, and a suggested tactile experience using everyday materials such as fabric, paper, ribbon, sand, and foam.
The story can be enjoyed in several ways: read independently, shared aloud, explored through touch, or listened to via optional audio tracks accessed by QR codes. These include extended narration, songs, and soundscapes that deepen immersion without overwhelming the reader.
Designed to support calm, curiosity, and connection, this book works equally well as a bedtime story, a classroom resource, or a shared activity between adults and children. It makes no assumptions about ability and invites every reader to engage in their own way.
