Child anxiety

From a toddler having a meltdown in the supermarket to a school-aged child navigating friendships, emotions are at the heart of everyday life. Books that explore feelings allow children to see characters experiencing similar struggles, which helps them feel understood and less alone.
Research shows that emotional literacy—the ability to recognize, understand, and express emotions—is strongly linked to better social relationships, resilience, and mental health outcomes in children (Denham et al., 2012; Trentacosta & Fine, 2010).
