Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) includes major life skills that all students need to get along with others and live happy, healthy lives.

Readers will learn how to act appropriately and control difficult emotions. Accessible text paired with vibrant full-color photographs will allow readers to connect with the concept, and gain a deep understanding of how to apply this skill in daily life. For a comprehensive learning experience, this nonfiction title can be paired with the fiction title The Princess Acts Poorly! (ISBN: 9781725355309). The instructional guide on the inside front and back covers provides vocabulary, reflections, background knowledge, text-dependent questions, whole class activities, and independent activities.
