We’re excited to share our 2025 list of the best kids’ books about mental health! For our second-annual list of Best Kids’ Books for Mental Health, the Child Mind Institute has narrowed down 150 candidates to nearly two dozen winners with options for every age, from toddler to teen. All have been read and reviewed by our clinical experts and editorial staff. Whether your child has been diagnosed with anxiety or ADHD, struggles with regulating emotions, or has lost a loved one, books can be a valuable way to help them navigate the world. Share them with your kids (and buy them for classroom libraries) because every child deserves to read a story that they can see themselves in.

Can't believe Big Bear Was Not The Same is 4 years old today. After experiencing a natural disaster, Big Bear is not the same. "An accessible, age-appropriate primer that sheds light on trauma and PTSD." - Publishers Weekly. @BeamingBooksMN #librarian #teacher #counselor #PTSD
