Discovering Books That Heal
This is a very special post that I’m excited to share with you today. I recently learned about an amazing organization called Books That Heal – and they do incredible work! Before I dive into what they do, I want to stress how much my family loves to read. We keep screen time to a minimum for our kiddos, which means looking for other activities and things to do throughout the week. Sofia and Gabe both love books, which is such a gift! Snuggling up to read is one of our favorite activities.
Kids learn a lot through reading, so picking books that have positive messages is key. Books That Heal are unique for many reasons (which I’ll get into below), but they also have a positive message and lots of pictures that capture the attention of the whole family. You can see me reading one of the books to my sweet Gabe in a short video clip below.
Now let me tell you a bit more about Books That Heal. They are a 501(c)(3) organization that was founded by a man by the name of Michael Flatley. They work with pediatric patients battling with chronic illnesses to write and illustrate their own books. Sounds pretty amazing huh? It gets better! Once the books are published, they host book signing events to celebrate each child’s story and to help raise funds for the family or their foundation. Could they honestly be more amazing?
We have 3 of their books and my kiddos love them! They want to understand more about the children in the stories, which is a great thing to discuss. We’ve been able to talk about how strong and brave they are, and why. A lot of the illustrations in the books are by the children in the stories, which my kids love! The colors, positive message, and amazing reason this books are being created is something worth sharing with others if you ask me!
You can see Gabe and Sofia in several images throughout this post, paging through the books on their own. We have Nathan Strong, Just for You, and Hurrikanen Fights Back, and love them all! Because we’ve already read them all, they know the stories and pretend to read them to each other. It’s really beautiful to watch them talk about each book in their own way. They talk about who the hero of the story is, pointing out little things that are meaningful or stuck out to them personally. Gabe is 5 and Sofia is 3, so it’s always interesting to see things through their eyes.
They currently have 6 books to choose from, which you can view and purchase HERE. Take a look at the amazing titles and what the messages are. Know that if you purchase a book, the proceeds are really going to helping these incredible, strong, brave families.
You can also learn more about Books That Heal by clicking HERE. My personal favorite part of their website is the authors section. You can see who actually wrote and illustrated these special books – which is truly inspiring! My kids love knowing that the books were created by kids and their families, and it has inspired them to write their own stories. Whatever the takeaway, know that these books would make a beautiful gift or addition to any home library.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me via my Instagram, you can click HERE to reach out to Books That Heal, or you can comment on my post and I’ll do my best to answer your questions about our personal experience reading the books to our little ones. I truly love the Books That Heal mission and am inspired by what they are doing. I hope you check them out, add to your personal library, and share with others! Enjoy! xo
