Wings for Your Heart: A Healing Journey

By Heather Marie Holmes

Wings for Your Heart is a gentle, affirming picture book created to support children who have experienced trauma, grief, loss, or big emotional transitions. Written for hurting kids and the adults who care for them, this juvenile nonfiction self-help book offers simple, comforting language that helps children feel safe, understood, and supported.

Designed to be read together or independently, this book pairs calming, full-color illustrations with easy-to-understand affirmations that help children process difficult emotions without fear or overwhelm. While accessible for kids of all ages, the emotional depth also resonates with adults who are healing their own inner child.

This book provides:
- Emotional support for children coping with trauma, grief, or anxiety
- A helpful tool for parents, caregivers, foster and adoptive families
- A soothing read-aloud for therapists, counselors, and social workers
- Gentle affirmations that support inner child healing and PTSD recovery

Wings for Your Heart is not a traditional storybook. It is a therapeutic, affirmation-based resource that creates a soft, safe space for healing. The language is intentionally non-triggering and age-appropriate, making it suitable for children navigating fear, sadness, or emotional uncertainty.

This book may be especially helpful for readers affected by:
Trauma or PTSD
Abuse or neglect
Grief and loss
Anxiety or depression
Bullying or social isolation
Family separation or instability
Neurodivergence or mental illness
Major life changes, illness, or disability

An appendix of resources is included to encourage additional support when needed.

Originally conceived as a deluxe edition, Wings for Your Heart expands upon the message of Never Let Go, featuring twice as many affirmations and illustrations in a visually immersive, full-page format.

Whether gifted to a child in crisis, used in therapy settings, or read by adults healing from childhood trauma, this book offers reassurance, hope, and compassion. These are the words survivors need to hear.
