Kidpower Safety Skills: People Safety Skills for Children Ages 3-10
Irene Van Der Zande & Amanda Golert
(This is one of a series of great books by the Kidpower foundation–they have books for older readers as well–that I use to teach boundaries, self-advocacy, social safety skills including responding to bullying and bystander issues, sexual safety, dating and internet safety, when and how to tell or get help when something makes you uncomfortable, what to do when lost or separated from parents and other critical safety skills)
Listening To My Body: A guide to helping kids understand the connection between their sensations (what the heck are those?) and feelings so that they can get better at figuring out what they need.

What to do When You Worry Too Much
Dawn Heubner and Bonnie Mathews
(workbook style self help book for younger readers)
Superhero Therapy: Mindfulness Skills to Help Teens and Young Adults Deal with Anxiety, Depression and Trauma. Janinia Scarlett, PhD
(A wonderful book with some great skills, but despite the title which makes it sound perfect for younger folks, it is only appropriate for older readers because of difficult content like sexual assault and war trauma. I sometimes use it in session with readers of varying ages, because the content is so resonant, by adapting content and pulling only appropriate skill applications.)
Turtles All the Way Down
(a young adult novel about a tween dealing with OCD)
John Green
