Kids’ books we love as child therapists — and why they’re so powerful 📚💛
Stories help kids make sense of their inner world in a way that feels safe, playful, and relatable. These are some of our favorites in the therapy room:
✨ What Ifs — teaches kids to challenge anxious “what if” thoughts.
🔥 Hello Anger — shows that anger often protects softer feelings underneath.
🎨 My Mixed Emotions — helps kids name big feelings and learn tools to navigate them.
💡 The Girl Who Made a Million Mistakes — celebrates growth mindset and learning from imperfection.
🐧 Tacky the Penguin — reminds kids (and adults!) that being different is a strength.
🌟 What Should Darla Do? — empowers kids to practice choices and understand consequences.
❤️ The Invisible String — offers comfort for separation, transitions, and grief.
Books can open doors kids didn’t know how to walk through yet.
