A Heartwarming Children’s Book That Teaches Kids How to Nurture Their Body, Mind, and Heart

About the Book

Self-care isn’t just for grown-ups—it’s something kids can learn too!

In Taking Care of Me, children discover that taking care of themselves can look many different ways—sometimes it’s fun, like bubble baths and favorite snacks, and other times it’s hard, like brushing teeth when tired or saying “no” when something doesn’t feel right.

Through warm rhymes and colorful illustrations, this story helps kids understand that caring for their bodies, feelings, and needs is one of the most important ways to grow strong, healthy, and confident.
