If you are someone who likes reading, books can help you to cope with the pressures of life, feel better about yourself and boost your confidence. In 2020 the Reading Agency launched the 'Reading Well for children booklist' to support children's mental health and wellbeing - the 33 books on the list, by authors including Michael Rosen, Tom Percival, Zanib Mian and Joseph Coelho, have been selected to help Key Stage 2 children (aged 7-11) understand and talk about their mental health and wellbeing. Check out their suggestions here:

The Reading Agency have also endorsed books about mental health for 13 to 18 year olds with advice and information about issues like anxiety, stress and OCD, and difficult experiences like bullying and exams. The books have all been recommended by young people and health professionals, and are available to borrow for free from public libraries - search for what's available to borrow from your local library here: Cambridge library and Peterborough Library.
