Social-emotional learning is a way to foster education in more than just the typical Math, English, and Science. It gives students an understanding of how to treat others, as well as themselves. A way to start this process, at any age, is through books. 

1. The Invisible Boy by Patrice Barton

The Invisible Boy is a way for students ages K-3 to understand how to make others feel included, despite any differences. This can teach them lifelong skills that help to grow their relationships with others.
