Finding the Right Book for Your Child

We know that helping kids understand and manage their emotions is a big (and sometimes messy) journey. That’s why we’ve designed our filters to make it easier for you to find books that truly fit your child’s needs, whether they’re struggling with big feelings or just starting to explore their emotions.

  • Every child processes the world differently at different stages, so we group books by age to help you find stories that meet them right where they are. A preschooler might need simple words, gentle illustrations, and interactive moments. An older child might connect more with humor, relatable characters, or deeper storytelling. This way, you can pick a book that feels right for your child, something they can understand, enjoy, and grow with.

  • Emotions can be tricky, even for adults! Kids might not always have the words to explain what they’re feeling, but stories can help. By sorting books by specific emotions like anger, sadness, worry, or confidence, you can find a book that speaks directly to what your child is going through. These books give kids the language to name their feelings, show them they’re not alone, and offer gentle, practical ways to navigate tough moments.

  • Every family approaches emotional growth differently, and that’s okay. Some parents love gentle, attachment-based strategies, while others find that a structured approach works best. When possible, we organize books by parenting style so you can find stories that align with your values. Whether you want a book that reinforces mindfulness, models boundaries, or simply helps kids feel safe in their emotions, there’s something here for you.

    At the end of the day, the right book can be a powerful tool, not just for kids but for parents too. We hope these filters help you find stories that bring comfort, connection, and a little extra magic to your family’s emotional journey. 💛
