A Picture Book Choice for Social and Emotional Learning

A Mama for OwenAlthough I believe that my picture book A Mama for Owen is compelling because it is based on a true story, it may be the emotional truths in the book that are even more important. Over the years the title has been mentioned in connection with many topics: loss and grief, creating a family through adoption, the potential for friendship despite key differences, and confronting natural disasters. I hope you will consider sharing it with your students when you’re looking for titles that enhance social and emotional learning.
