Stories for children with ADHD, autism, anxiety and big emotions, created to reflect their inner world, not change who they are. 

At Mrs Appleberry Press, our books don't try to define children or offer quick solutions. Instead, they create space for children to recognise themselves, feel understood and connect with their emotions in their own way.

Helping Children Understand Big Feelings

Some children experience the world more intensely, more deeply or just differently. Our stories gently meet them there. These are some of the benefits:

Support emotional regulation
Reduce anxiety at bedtime and during transitions
Help children feel understood and less alone
Encourage confidence and self-acceptance

These aren't just stories, they're tools children return to again and again. 
 
Books for ADHD, Autism and Anxiety

Whether your child finds it hard to switch off at night, struggles with big reactions or feels overwhelmed in everyday situations, our books are created to meet them where they are. 

Popular themes include:

Bedtime support for anxious children
Stories for children with ADHD who find it hard to settle
Gentle neuro affirming stories for autistic children
Building resilience and confidence through storytelling

What Makes These Stories Different

Most children's books try to guide behaviour or teach emotional skills. These stories don't. They stay closer to the experience itself, how things feel from the inside, without explaining or correcting it.  There are no moral lessons to reach. No character who must be 'fixed' by the end. Just story, recognition and space to breathe.
