Feel the World is a series of picture books designed for students to practice social-emotional learning (SEL) by experts in child psychology and English education. From the Netherlands to New Zealand, each book features a different culture and a different country to spark curiosity, celebrate diversity, and build a sense of global community. With every thoughtful story, students will explore not only the English language but also their feelings as they share in the joys and sorrows of children around the world.
