No matter how young or old we are, children's books can bring us comfort, hope and a space to process our emotions.

We adore this piece from Laura Dockrill, who chooses eight books that have helped her in difficult times: https://www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-features/features/2020/november/8-books-to-read-together-in-difficult-times/
