Collegiate Learning, 2025

"Stories build bridges the world cannot break." Every child loves a good story—but what if stories could do more than entertain? What if they could shape empathy, strengthen character, and teach emotional intelligence? In Stories That Stick, educator and author Dr. Cheryl Carter shows parents, teachers, and librarians how to use picture books to help children grow into kind, resilient, and emotionally intelligent individuals. Blending research, real-life classroom examples, and a deep love for story, Dr. Carter reveals how the right books—shared with care—can transform behavior, spark meaningful conversations, and heal emotional wounds. ?? Inside You'll Discover: How to choose books that build empathy, courage, and resilience. Questions that turn read-alouds into character lessons. Classroom and home activities that bring stories to life. Practical ways to integrate social-emotional learning (SEL) with literacy standards. Guidance for using picture books to help children navigate grief, fear, and frustration. Templates, book lists, and reflection tools for educators and families. Stories That Stick reminds us that reading aloud isn't a quiet break from learning—it's where the heart of learning begins. Each page is a guide to transforming reading time into a sacred moment of connection, compassion, and character growth. "When we teach children to read with their hearts, we give them the courage to live with compassion."
