   135-Social Emotional Learning with the book Pony Punch

   In this session, Amy Seck introduces her new book, Pony Punch—a powerful social-emotional tool for teachers and families. Inspired by the animals on Amy’s homestead in South Central Kansas, this heartwarming story teaches children the value of kindness, patience, and empathy in a fun and unexpected way. It reminds us that because we don’t always know someone’s past, they may act, look, or respond differently than we expect. Ways to connect with Amy (Founder of Beloved Books Publishing Co.)
