About The Helping Books

About Us

At The Helping Books®, we believe stories can heal. We are a nonprofit dedicated to providing trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate books that empower children, youth, and families to face challenges with resilience, dignity, and hope.


Our books are not ordinary stories—they are bibliotherapeutic workbooks carefully designed by licensed therapists, parents, and advocates. Each series addresses real-life struggles such as foster care, loss, chronic illness, trauma, and cognitive decline, blending professional expertise with compassion.


By combining storytelling with therapeutic principles, we foster emotional growth, resilience, and empowerment for individuals at every stage of life.
