Books that can help your toddler/young child to understand the world around them and more!

New situations, general childhood experiences, feelings and strong emotions may be confusing, unsettling and even frightening for young children. Books, especially stories can help children to realise what they are experiencing is normal.

This is a collection of books dealing with many situations. All these books can help to support children.
