My Eyes to Your Heart

Feelings are real for every human - kids included. We as teachers, see the range of them in the classroom at any given moment. This book explores the idea that feelings and choices are not always separate. At the core, we see them, we guide them, and we love them. Whether you're a teacher, caregiver, or adult who has a young one, this is a great book for acknowledging the states of the heart, as well as encouraging positive responses to the good (and not-so-good) moments of life. Using simple, yet captivating illustrations that tug at the heartstrings, this SEL book is geared towards both, children and adults as a means of showcasing many of the emotions that teachers see when students enter the classroom. My Eyes to Your Heart offers a nudge for young people to respond to their emotions in positive ways, but affirms the fact that teachers create safe spaces for them to be human. This is a great read for all young people, as it offers multiple opportunities to engage in meaningful dialogues between teachers and students, revolving around feelings and actions.
