Sometimes ... Minds Get Boo-Boos, Too

Sometimes ... Minds Get Boo-Boos, Too is an easy reader book for children, ages 5-9 and a representation of health, wellness and mindfulness in children. Written in third person account, young "Hannah" learns that all boo-boos aren't visible to the naked eye, and that sometimes minds get boo-boos too. She discovers that sharing her mental health struggles with a trusted, grown-up friend is a brave and smart thing to do; because in sharing Hannah learns that she is not alone, and that there are many helpful ways to feel better. The book provided a clear explanation of common symptoms and interventions of mental health issues, written and illustrated in inclusive, child-friendly terms with an emphasis on self-love and kindness, as well as removing stigmas associated with mental health challenges. The book is narrated by her canine companion, "MacKzie", and includes an invitation to the young reader from Hannah and her inclusive friends to join them in making Hannah's "Be Kind to Your Mind" mental health pledge which reiterates to children the importance of sharing mental health problems, reassuring them of available help, and encouraging healthy self-esteem. The intention of the book is to integrate relevant child literacy and healthy mind concepts. The book is written in accessible language for easy and age-appropriate comprehension and applicability in the style of "end rhymes" to offer an enjoyable reading experience and engagement opportunities to the young reader, as well as provide a reprieve from the heaviness that can be associated with the subject of mental illness.
