Honored to announce that @childmindinst has named The Memory Tree: A Holiday Grief Story as one of the Best Kids Book About Mental Health of 2025! This was a very special story to write. @BeamingBooksMN#grief https://t.co/jwxGq3zwaA
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.
Today is the day! We hope to see you at Barnes & Noble Arden Fair at 11 AM for a special launch party of The Memory Tree: A Holiday Grief Story. 🌲❤️📚🥰 @BNArdenFair@BeamingBooksMN
A grief book and heartwarming Christmas story in one, The Memory Tree provides comfort to grieving families—whether for the first holiday celebrated after the loss of a loved one, or many years later.
Last night was a special night. Thank you San Juan Education Foundation for the honor and all you do for students and educators. Congrats to all the stars at Evening With The Stars. ❤️🥰🤩⭐️ @SanJuanUnified
