My September blog, "I See Myself in You," suggests picture books offer wisdom for adults, not only children. It features A MOON FOR MOE AND MOE (Jane Breskin Zalben, Mehrdokt Amini) and THAT FLAG (Tameka Fryer Brown, Nikkolas Smith). #PIctureBooks #SEL www.thewritedebracollins.com/spotlights-b...

Since April, I've been spotlighting picture books with social-emotional themes (I'm a school psychologist) - some with Jewish themes as well (because I am). Monthly, at www.thewritedebracollins.com/spotlights-blog and at childrensbookacademy.weebly.com/blogfish #kidlit #picturebooks #SEL

Anxiety taught me to practice relaxation and meditation. These habits have enriched everything, including my writing and work as a psychologist. I keep notes I call "No Expectations." Here's the first one.
