Help children learn the power of kindness, encouragement, and emotional awareness with this snowy yet heartwarming Social Emotional Learning (SEL) children’s book, Snow Joe: The A-build-able Snowman by A.Skaltsounis. Designed to support young readers as they develop empathy and confidence, this story teaches and inspires children that their words and actions truly can lift others up. Even the abominable snowman needs help sometimes.

​

Through magical storytelling and relatable snowball-memory moments, children discover how small acts of kindness, offering encouragement, celebrating others’, and speaking with care can build into a BIG difference. (Hint hint: A snowball effect!) This book encourages kids to recognize emotions in themselves and others while practicing positive communication and compassion for others when they may be feeling low-in-the-snow, or simply not their usual selves.

​

Whether read at bedtime, used in a classroom, circle time, or incorporated into SEL lessons, Snow Joe helps children understand that when we build each other up, through compassion and community, everyone grows stronger.​​
