This book tells the simple yet poignant story of a young girl who lives with an open heart and sees the magic in life all around her. The Heart and the Bottle by Oliver Jeffers Let’s explore five children’s books that teach some surprisingly deep lessons about how to take care of yourself. ![]() Every so often we come across a deep children’s book that can bring us more comfort in 10 minutes than if we’d spent hours poring over the latest 200-page best-seller. The truths of self-care are often best expressed in simple, easy-to-understand terms. And if we chased after every book that claimed to have the secret to happiness, we’d be flat broke.īut here’s a little secret: Children’s books aren’t just for children.

While some of those books may be truly helpful, we don’t always have the bandwidth for them when we’re hurting. For whatever pain, stress or trauma you might be going through right now, you can easily find dozens, if not hundreds, of books on that subject through Amazon or on the shelves of Barnes & Noble.
