Perfect for school leaders, literacy leads, inclusion leads, librarians and educators looking to build more diverse, representative and engaging book collections.
Stories that help children understand feelings, build resilience and know they are not alone.
Children experience big emotions, worries, changes and challenges every day. But finding the right words to talk about how they feel is not always easy.
For schools, supporting children’s mental health is not only about responding when difficulties arise. It is also about creating everyday opportunities to build emotional awareness, develop communication skills and foster a sense of belonging.
The Mental Health Awareness Book Bundle provides a curated collection of children’s books designed to support conversations about mental health, feelings and emotional wellbeing.
Because sometimes, the right story is the first step towards a child finding the words.
