Little Parachutes is the World’s most useful (and friendly) collection of Parachute Books : picture books that help children cope with worries, health issues and new experiences (big and small).

There are SO many fantastic picture books to help children out there, but sometimes it’s not easy to find the one YOU need for your child’s situation. Our lovely team endlessly searches, assesses and reviews picture books on milestones such as starting school, potty training, moving house, or a new baby in the house. We have sourced hundreds of books on really challenging situations (divorce, serious illness, infectious diseases, operations and bereavement to name a few). We have books to encourage children to behave well, explore their feelings and develop positive traits such as resilience, confidence, courage, gratitude and kindness
