Healing Words is a poetry collection created by youth, for youth—a tapestry of 40 original poems written by 40 student authors from around the world, brought together through the Panacea Health Institute. Designed especially for young children ages 4–8, this book blends imagination, empathy, and education into lyrical stories that help children understand their bodies, minds, and hearts.

Each poem gently introduces a concept related to health, emotions, or wellness: from learning how to wash your hands to expressing big feelings, from understanding what happens during a checkup to celebrating the colors of healthy food. With every turn of the page, children will discover that caring for themselves and others is both natural and beautiful.

But this book is more than a collection of poems. It’s a celebration of young voices using creativity to spark healing. These student authors—aged between 12 and 18—represent a diverse network of youth health leaders, educators, and changemakers connected through the Panacea Health Institute. They’ve each contributed their voice and vision to inspire the next generation of healthy, kind, and self-aware children.
