Summer is coming to an end, and school has begun for a lot of you. Maybe you've started a new school, or just a new routine in general. Having social-emotional skills to cope with these changes is important!
I've curated a list of ten books for an end of summer reading list that all focus on social emotional learning (also known as SEL).
