Books can be so much more than just words on a paper. It's a doorway into conversations about the biggest feelings that little ones are carrying around, like worry, frustration, mistakes, and overwhelm.

In my group classes and private sessions, books are one of my favorite tools. We read together, we breathe together, we talk about what the characters are feeling and suddenly kids have words for things that they didn't know how to say before.

Want to know a secret? When I'm reading to the kids in my classes, I'm also reading to the adults in the room, because we need these reminders too! 🤗

Here are some of my favorite books that you saw in this reel:

1. The Magical Yet, by Angela DiTerlizzi
2. Find Your Calm, by Gabi Garcia
3. The Way I Feel, by Janan Cain
4. It's Okay to Be Different, by Todd Parr
5. The What-ifs, by Emily Kilgore
6. How Do Dinosaurs Say I'm Mad, by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague
7. Be You!, by Peter H. Reynolds
8. What Does It Mean to Be Present?, by Rana DiOrio
9. Ruby Finds a Worry, by Tom Percival
10. It's Okay to Make Mistakes, by Todd Parr

And if you didn't know, my work isn't only for the kids. I support the whole family. Parents, caregivers, adults navigating the hard stuff too. Because when we feel more connected and grounded, so do they.
