My Project

Books can take readers to anywhere their minds will let them go, among the pages to explore, listen, connect to, and realize that there are kids out there who have been where they are, and that adults will listen to help them get through their crisis. Young students are faced with so much these days that they are quite not sure how to handle. Reading these SEL books will provided much needed resources for them to read, understand the dilemma, follow through how the solution to the problem is determined.
