Description
The Colors of Life engages the strategies of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) to explore life experience through emotion and color. For high-potential readers at the middle school level, the book's humanistic and emotional themes provide valuable complements to the education of STEM-oriented learners.
The book presents color as a vehicle of knowledge and empowerment to foster mindfulness, wisdom, and creative expression in young people. Featuring more than 50 original illustrations, the book's core concepts are reinforced through complementary expressions of language and imagery.
With an accompanying Guide for Teachers and Parents, the book can be accessed individually by independent readers, or it can be used as a teacher-led initiative with creative exercises to be implemented in the classroom.
