I Only Saw One Side - A story about what else could be true

Theo worked for three whole days building his block tower. When it crashes to the floor just as Nadia rushes around the corner, he is certain he knows what happened. But Grandma asks him to slow down, stand where Nadia stood, and consider a question he had not asked: What else could be true?I Only Saw One Side is a warm, illustrated social-emotional learning story that helps young children understand how quickly assumptions can form-and how perspective-taking, empathy, and honest questions can change what we believe. By looking at the same moment from another person's point of view, Theo learns that seeing one side is not the same as knowing the whole story.Book 4 in the Young Learners Series, inspired by CASEL's Social Awareness competency, gives children a memorable three-step tool: notice the story your mind created, ask what else could be true, and seek the truth before deciding.The book includes a note for grown-ups, a classroom activity, discussion questions, and practical prompts for continuing the learning at home or school.Ideal for children ages 4 to 7, families, elementary classrooms, school counselors, therapists, and educators helping young learners develop empathy, social awareness, emotional intelligence, conflict-resolution skills, and thoughtful decision-making.
