Welcome to the Second Edition of the SEL Summer Reading Series! We have two books to share with you this Wednesday.
To start us off is a beautiful children’s book, “One” by Kathryn Otoshi.
This book emphasizes the power of one person standing up when someone is being mistreated. The art work alone makes this book worth a read. Watch below as the author reads her book accompanied by a dramatic interpretation performed by students from Trace Elementary School in San Jose, CA.
Our next book is geared towards the adult SEL learner, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success by: Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D. This book looks at how to shift our thinking for achievement, happiness, and success. It focuses on how to switch from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
Have you read either of these book before? What did you think? What books are planning to read this summer? Please share with us in the comments section below!
Happy Reading 🙂

Great resources! “One” is a beautiful choice for creative SEL integration at any age level. Reminds me of “The Dot” and “Ish” by Peter Reynolds. Can’t wait to read “Mindset” and “Wonder”. Thanks all!
This is awesome – thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks for sharing Angela! I haven’t read Wonder, but I will now! Another book that sounds similar to Wonder that I really enjoyed is: “Autobiography of a Face” by: Lucy Grealy. It’s very honest and touching. http://www.amazon.com/Autobiography-Face-Lucy-Grealy/dp/0060569662
I haven’t read these but definitely plan to now! Thanks for sharing! I just finished Wonder and it was amazing. I recommend it to everyone I talk to! 🙂
