Discover the magic of bibliotherapy—the use of stories to help clients explore their experiences and foster emotional well-being. By connecting with characters, kids can gain new perspectives and develop self-awareness in a safe, therapeutic way. The Bibliotherapy Toolbox offers over 100 story-based interventions that blend books with play therapy techniques, addressing topics such as:

  • Anger and big emotions

  • Resilience and self-esteem

  • Anxiety, fear, and perfectionism

  • Neurodiversity, ADHD, and autism

  • Trauma, grief, and attachment

  • Bullying, boundaries, and kindness

Ideal for building rapport, processing stress, or teaching new skills, this resource brings the power of stories to life in a therapeutic context.

 Casey's Greatness Wings

Casey’s Greatness Wings is an interactive story that can be shared by gently tracing it on a child's back. It tells the tale of Casey, a caterpillar who feels different and overwhelmed by worries as big as an elephant. With the help of a Wise Grandmother Butterfly, Casey learns to overcome fear, recognize his inner beauty, and embrace his greatness.

This book includes activities and tips to help:

  • Strengthen bonds

  • Quiet the mind

  • Reduce worries

  • Encourage empathy and kindness

  • Build confidence

A multi-sensory, fun, and creative journey, it fosters mindfulness, connection, and courage.
