Something Remarkable is Happening in Our Classrooms:
In schools incorporating Social Emotional Learning (SEL), aggression is declining, empathy is increasing and students are thriving.
As SEL becomes a bigger piece of our educational landscape, the need for books that incorporate SEL's core principles is increasing dramatically.
How dramatic? According to a November 2022 report, sales of titles for children under 10 that address emotions are up almost 40%.
School Library Journal put it succinctly:
If you've been looking for the tools to write meaningful, impactful picture books - and become part of a rapidly growing market - this is your moment.
SEL picture books introduce readers to a wider world than the one they've grown up knowing, while focusing on the emotions and experiences that connect us all.
Pat Zietlow Miller has masterfully incorporated SEL into her award-winning books, creating powerful change and spreading important messages of kindness, empathy and courage.
