Bibliotherapy is an excellent way of helping children make sense of their world. 

Reading allows children to see how people think, feel, and problem-solve. While at the same time they find validation in their thoughts and feelings when they see characters experiencing situations and feelings that mirror their own.

“The fire of literacy is created by the emotional sparks between a child, a book,
and the person reading.”
