I don't know if they do books, probably do, but I found watching the Teletubbies to be quite relaxing. Tinky-Winky and the crew

Judy Blume. She wrote are you there god, it’s me Margaret. Lots of her books would be good. The little prince. P

Anything by Astrid Lindgren (Swedish) and Tove Jansson (Finnish). Neither is popular in the US. It’s a shame
Merry Poppins. Again movies are popular but most kids here haven’t read the books. Not popular, strangely. It was likely my favorite book of all times. |

I second the recommendations for Astrid Lindgren and Tove Jansson. Yes, hu-u-ugely popular in Russian translation, both of them and especially Lindgren, but unfortunately not in the US. I will add: "The Blue Bird" by the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. It is a play. I saw it in a theater, probably my first theater experience as a child. Was mesmerized by it. Also recently started listening to it on an audiobook. If you cannot find a play performance next to you, you can still read it for yourself or out loud. Here is the full text for free: The Blue Bird, by Maurice Maeterlinck __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

Astrid Lingren is a great suggestion, especially The Six Bullerby Children. Read that age 7 and then reread with my son. She captured a child’s viewpoint very well.
