The Good Egg

He is a good egg, and wants the others in his carton to be good eggs too. But he cannot control them and the stress is causing his shell to crack. So he takes off, but realizes that he misses his carton mates, and that maybe everyone doesn't have to be perfect all of the time. A cute picture book.

Caroline Lewicki

A sweet book about self care and not putting so much pressure on yourself. I think this would be great for an older kid audience, especially as they get older and pressure starts to mount on them.
