What's New at SENDinMama
'Big Feelings, Little Books'
September's Book List: Back to School (Released on the 1st Sept!)
This month’s selection is all about the transition back to school.
For many children, the start of a new school year brings a mix of excitement and nerves, but for SEND and PDA learners it can feel overwhelming. Changes in routine, new environments, and heightened demands can all trigger stress and anxiety.
This handpicked list of picture books helps children prepare for, process, and navigate the return to school in gentle, validating ways. From stories that celebrate differences, to books that acknowledge worries and model safe coping strategies, these titles provide reassurance and connection for children who need a little extra support.
Perfect for easing transitions at home, in the classroom, or during therapy sessions, these stories open up conversations, validate feelings, and remind children that they are not alone.
