Books

By LaurensCreativeCorner

When I was putting together book lists for the kids’ dorms, I noticed just how many medical-themed books I’d tucked in. From dermatology to surgery to what bones are made of—it wasn’t random. So many of our incredible kiddos here are brave enough to face hospital stays, routine checkups, or unexpected clinic visits. I wanted them to have stories that help them understand what’s happening, to feel empowered, and to even imagine themselves as the doctors, surgeons, and caregivers they see on our visiting teams.

These books are especially great if you have a child who’s in and out of the hospital or curious about the body and how it works. They help put language and imagination to things that can feel scary or confusing. A little knowledge goes a long way in helping kids feel safe.
Looking for ways to nurture your child’s social and emotional growth? These books are wonderful companions on that journey! 📚💛 From tackling big feelings to developing self-regulation and kindness, each story offers a beautiful lesson in emotional intelligence.

In Miss Lauren’s Creative Corner, we believe that fostering empathy, mindfulness, and resilience starts early. These books can spark powerful conversations with your little ones—whether they’re learning to be brave like The Bravest Lion 🦁, calming down with The Calm Down Jar 🧘‍♀️, or discovering how to handle worries like in What Do You Do With a Problem? 💭.

What books are you wanting add to your library next? I’m always looking for new ones to add to our dorm library wishlist for here on campus!

Some of our favorite books here on campus!

It’s been so important for me to find stories where my kiddos can see themselves reflected in the characters they read about. Representation in books builds confidence, nurtures a sense of belonging, and sparks imagination.

At the Art Table, I often notice that when kids draw a princess, they default to Cinderella—not necessarily because she’s their favorite, but because that’s what they’ve seen the most. The same holds true in literature, and that’s why I’m always on the lookout for books that celebrate diverse voices and experiences.

These stories bring joy, spark conversations, and remind every child that their story matters
