There are dozens of great book about attachment and I hope to put together a post soon with some recommendations, but I just finished The Anti-Romantic Child and I had to mention it because I found it incredibly encouraging and relatable. I literally just waled by it in the library and threw it in my bag and I'm so thankful I did. The author, Priscilla Gilman, is a professor and has a child with hyperlexia. She writes candidly about her experiences, her concerns, her grief, her need to advocate for and protect her son and the joy she find when she's able to let go of what she thought her child should be like. Although the book is not about attachment in the way most of us experience it, you do see the theme throughout the book. It's not a self-help book so there are not necessarily practical suggestions for you to implement into your daily life, but I still found it to be inspiring and I hope you do to.
