Some days, even small tasks can feel like huge mountains.
My Tasks Feel Like Mountains by Nell Harris is a beautifully gentle picture book that helps children understand, name and navigate feelings of overwhelm.
Written with empathy and care, this story validates the experience of children who find everyday tasks challenging — whether it’s getting dressed, starting homework or facing something unfamiliar. Through simple language and heartfelt storytelling, the book reassures young readers that they are not alone, and that even the biggest “mountains” can be climbed one step at a time.
This self-published paperback has been thoughtfully produced and printed with an independent publisher, featuring full-colour premium pages that invite children to engage emotionally with the story. Its 20cm x 20cm square format is ideal for shared reading, quiet reflection or therapeutic use in classrooms, counselling settings or at home.
Perfect for children who experience anxiety, executive functioning challenges, sensory overwhelm or emotional regulation difficulties, this book supports social-emotional learning in a calm, compassionate way. It’s also a valuable resource for parents, educators and therapists seeking language to gently open conversations around feelings and self-belief.
