Children's literature has some AWESOME resources for you to talk with your child about a variety of topics.  Some of these titles you will see I have in my classroom guidance lessons - some are available for checkout from the School Counselor Resource Library in our Roosevelt Library - some I have in my office because I use all the time - and some I enjoy, but just have not bought yet! This list is growing and changing all the time, so your feedback and suggestions are always welcome!

Thank you to our Roosevelt PTA for the generous donations they provide the School Counseling Proram to continue to build this library!
