"We tell stories in order to feel at home in the universe' - Roger Bingham.

Books and stories can shine light on our human connection and frailties, can make us laugh, can release a little fear, or can help us act for justice.

To celebrate The United Nation's World Book and Copyright Day on April 23, the IFSEL Team is excited to share:

• A list of our favorite SEL-themed books
• Fascinating research about What is going on in a young child's brain when you read them a story.
• A free lesson plan from the IFSEL Team for middle to high schoolers to rekindle the magic of picture books.
