I have been working on this for a while, seeking out such books. We have an SEL curriculum, a series of lessons from Second Step, I believe, that the classroom teachers teach. I have been adding SEL as a subject heading in the catalog record when I buy or notice a book that fits. It's not complete, but below are the ones I have designated SEL. Others that come to mind are Enemy Pie, almost anything by Trudy Ludwig (I was asked to buy anti-bullying books many years ago, and many of hers are good), Say Something, Martha doesn't share, and Martha doesn't say sorry, Extra yarn (about generosity), Salt in his Shoes (confidence). I have found good lists by searching online for Kindness books, or Sharing books, etc.

Hi all,

My district is receiving PD in social-emotional learning and I was hoping to add some titles to our K-5 collection to support this. Suggestions can be professional titles for teachers, but mentor texts/picture books for classroom lessons would also be helpful. We used Each Kindness by Woodson last year and Invisible Boy by Ludwig is our schoolwide read this year.

Thanks in advance,

Torrie Phillips
