Children's Books About Mental Health

By Karen Cicero, Child Mind Institute - From a hedgehog too anxious to go ice skating to a puppy who can't make his letters come out right, children's books address many emotional, behavioral and learning challenges kids face. These books help kids name and understand feelings and experiences they may be struggling with.

The Child Mind Institute we've contacted publishers all over to call in popular children's books about mental health and learning disorders and other common challenges, like dealing with painful experiences and coping with strong emotions.

They have included books for kids up to 12, from picture books to be read with preschoolers to chapter books for independent reading by older children. There clinicians read them all and picked the best in each category, based on how helpful they found them. Here you will see descriptions of 77 books we like, and we hope you will find useful.
