The Kids’ Book of Sensitivity: A Gentle Book for Highly Sensitive Kids
The Kids’ Book of Sensitivity is a soft, steady hug in the form of a picture book. It gently walks young readers through what it means to feel deeply, notice little things others might miss, and live with a sensitive heart. Through calm words and playful illustrations, it shows how emotions live in our bodies, how to name them, how to ask for what we need, and how to take care of ourselves when the world feels a bit too loud. It’s part guide, part comfort, and entirely a celebration of noticing more, feeling more, and being okay with who you are.
I loved the tone of this children’s book. It didn’t talk down to kids—it talked with them. The language is simple but honest. I felt seen reading it, and I’m not even the target audience. The way it described emotions, from butterflies in your tummy to “tight ears at a party,” was so relatable. The “feelings thermometer” and “body map” ideas are brilliant. They don’t overcomplicate things. They’re practical, visual, and perfect for kids (and, honestly, for grown-ups too). It’s the kind of book that feels like it’s been missing from shelves for a long time.
But what really hit me was the kindness baked into every page. This book doesn’t try to fix kids or change them. So many books rush to teach or correct. This one pauses. It validates. I could see this being a lifesaver for sensitive kids who don’t always have the words yet. It also gently teaches adults to slow down and listen, too. The sections on change, making mistakes, and sensory overload were especially thoughtful—never dramatic, just honest and clear. And the watercolor artwork is absolutely fantastic.
If you know a kid who feels a little more, notices a little more, or just sometimes needs a break from the noise, this book is for them. It’s also for parents, teachers, and caregivers who want to understand and support those kids better. It’s warm, wise, and truly one of the most empathetic children’s books I’ve come across.

Someone I Love Has Died: A Grief Activities Book For Children
Grief is an inevitable part of life’s rhythm. While the cycles of living and loss are universal, the death of a loved one can leave us struggling to make sense of the emotions swirling inside us. Someone I Love Has Died: A Grief Activities Book for Children by Catherine and Jenny Stephenson offers gentle, compassionate guidance for children navigating the often-overwhelming journey of grief.

As someone currently processing a personal loss, I found the book’s tender tone and clear guidance deeply reassuring. The activities, easy to follow and beautifully illustrated by Hiruni Kariyawasam, foster reflection and calm. The inclusion of a wellness checklist and practical advice for seeking support adds an extra layer of utility to this already invaluable resource. Above all, the book emphasizes an empowering truth: grief is deeply personal, and it’s okay to feel however you feel as you heal. One of the book’s most touching messages is its reminder that love never truly fades. Even in the depths of sorrow, the bond we share with those we’ve lost remains a part of us. This hopeful perspective gave me a sense of peace during a particularly challenging time, and I believe it will resonate with many readers. The blend of emotional wisdom and practical tools makes this book a steady companion for anyone experiencing loss.
