Children's Books

For Social-Emotional Development and Well-Being

My Books

In addition to often using children’s books when working with youth to help kickstart and guide conversations about various social-emotional concepts and skills and to help cultivate their social-emotional development and well-being, I’ve also written and published my own!

Companion Resources

In addition to reflection/discussion questions and activity ideas being included at the end of my books, I have also created companion resources to accompany your read-alouds.
