In 1987, Magination Press^® was created out of a desire to publish innovative books that would help children deal with the many challenges and problems they face as they grow up. Written for children aged 4 to 18, these books deal with topics ranging from the everyday—starting school, shyness, normal fears, and a new baby in the house—to more serious problems, such as divorce, attention deficit disorder, depression, serious injury or illness, autism, trauma, death, and much more.

Most of the books are written by mental health professionals, or those who work closely with them and with children. They help children understand their feelings, provide information about the topic or situation, and offer extensive practical coping strategies. A comprehensive Note to Parents is usually included to help guide parents, therapists, social workers, and teachers in using the book.
