Catching Thoughts
Catching Thoughts written by Bonnie Clark illustrated by Summer Macon.
Catching Thoughts is a calm and empowering picture book that introduces children to mindfulness and self-awareness in a developmentally appropriate way. Through the story of a young girl navigating an unwelcome, negative thought, children learn that thoughts can be noticed without being feared. One of my favorite quotes is “a feeling is not a fact.”
The use of simple, colorful imagery helps make abstract concepts concrete, showing readers how they can let go of unhelpful thoughts and make space for ones that bring peace and joy.
This soothing and thoughtful book is a valuable resource for supporting children who experience worry, anxiety, or big emotions, and it invites meaningful conversations at home or in the classroom.
