What's on Your Mind?

Todd Parr brings his signature bold colors and big-hearted style to childhood anxiety with this forthcoming picture book. Colorful bird characters walk young readers through deep breathing, stretching, and sensory check-ins — turning coping tools into something that feels like play rather than a lesson. Parr's three-time New York Times bestselling track record across fifty-plus books is real reassurance that he knows how to reach young children. The honest caveat: this is a July 2026 title with no post-publication reviews yet, so the final execution is unverified. Based on the concept and Parr's proven catalog, it's a solid early pick for parents and educators building social-emotional libraries.
