FREE | Back-to-School Booklist for Children

School transitions can mark some major shifts in identity and stretch children’s social-emotional skills.

Literacy is a powerful way for children to rehearse, discuss, and reflect on these common issues. When children hear messages that resonate with their own experiences, they feel understood and their feelings are normalized. Then, they can be more confident in handling the new social issues that may arise. To help aid your family, I have teamed up with Pranoo Kumar-Skomra at the acclaimed Rohi’s Readery, a bookstore committed to bringing lessons of social justice to young children.

This free download will give you a list of books that go beyond “first day of school prep” and extend into the social nuances children often experience at school.

Enjoy!
