Help me give my students books that can make all the difference in how they understand their feelings. A single story can open hearts, calm worries, and spark healing.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As a first-year school counselor, I’m amazed by the resilience and bravery my students show every day. They come to school with unique challenges and incredible potential, and it's inspiring to watch them grow emotionally and socially. Every student has their own journey, and I’m here to guide them through the ups and downs with the support they need.
These resources will be crucial in helping my students navigate their feelings and understand the world around them.
Each book is a tool that will help them manage tough emotions, build empathy, and develop the confidence they need to thrive. By incorporating these books into individual and group counseling sessions, I can provide a safe space for my students to explore their feelings, learn valuable life skills, and strengthen their emotional resilience.
In my first year, these resources will allow me to connect with my students on a deeper level and help them grow into kind, thoughtful, and confident individuals—ready to face whatever comes next.
