Transformational Education (TE) Kids Series
Bringing the big ideas of Transformational Education to life through playful storytelling and relatable characters.
An Introduction to Transformational Education (TE) Kids Series
Each book in the Transformational Education (TE) Kids Series introduces foundational concepts from the TE model—like belonging, curiosity, confidence, and courage—in language kids understand and experiences they recognize.
Instead of just telling children what to do, these stories show them how to think, feel, and grow in everyday situations—whether it's asking hard questions, facing a fear, or working together with friends.
Created for classrooms, families, and curious kids everywhere, the TE Kids Series is a joyful first step into learning how our choices, relationships, and learning moments all shape who we become.
