Welcome to SEALL Book Club(Social Emotional Awareness & Life Lessons for Children)

Building a better world through our children, one book at a time.

Books with Purpose

Beyond education and entertainment, books have the power to nurture meaningful character traits in children. Yet in a sea of beautiful children’s stories, it can be difficult to find those books that carry greater life lessons.

SEALL Book Club for Children connects parents, educators, and librarians with engaging books that inspire kindness, encourage helping one another, promote respect, address bullying, and more.

SEALL Book Club spotlights SEALL-approved books through:
• Events – In-person and on-line
• Online Resources - SEALL.club website and YouTube channel (coming soon)
• Book recommendations and reviews
• Author spotlights
• Interactive downloadable tools for families
• Book of the Month Club (future)

Kelli Joyner, author of "I Don’t Think So", shares more about her book: Young readers will delight in following Mia's tale of overcoming her shyness and the joys of friendship while embarking on magical adventures as they learn that their greatest gift is being oneself.10% of all proceeds from "I Don’t Think So!" will be donated to Summit Counseling Center, supporting children in need of free or subsidized counseling.

Rena Olsen, author of "Maxine’s Joy" shares: Maxine teaches young readers that joy can be found even during difficult times. And that joy is best lived when shared with others. Maxine’s Joy is a true story, based on the joy-filled life of Rena’s mom, Maxine.A philanthropic venture, all profits from "Maxine's Joy" will be donated to Alzheimer's causes.
