This is a solid series that provides guidance for social interactions, emotions, self-esteem, grit, and other topics for social-emotional growth. The guidance is simple but important for this age group. Concepts are defined and scenarios are used to help readers relate to the information. The text is simple, encouraging, and easy to follow. Photos feature kids of many races in various social situations. A table of contents, glossary, index, read more section, and internet sites for further research make these books easy to use. VERDICT A solid choice for libraries looking to provide books on social and emotional growth.--Katherine Rao, Palos Verdes Lib. Dist., CA "School Library Journal"
