Abstract: Current reading therapy practices in domestic libraries primarily emphasize emotional expression and guidance, often neglecting the cultivation of critical thinking abilities. Therefore, the integration of children’s philosophy into reading therapy provides a new possibility by fostering emotional resonance, cognitive engagement, and spiritual growth in reading. The study explores how the combination of children’s philosophy and reading therapy can provide more comprehensive and in-depth support for children’s emotional healing and personal growth. It elaborates the application strategies, including cultivating professional teams, recruiting target groups of children participants, carefully selecting mental health-themed books, carrying out interactive group reading sessions, and setting up a scientific evaluation system. In addition, the paper highlights important considerations such as the sensitive selection of picture books, active listening and understanding of children’s voices, and the relevance of connecting reading activities with real-life experiences.
