Hallee Adelman is an educator, writer, producer, and filmmaker. With a PhD in education, Adelman has taught elementary through university students and has been nominated for Disney Teacher of the Year on multiple occasions.
This past April, Adelman released three new picture books published by Albert Whitman & Company. Way Past Lonely and Way Past Afraid, are the two latest books in Hallee’s Great Big Feelings series, joining 2020 titles Way Past Mad and Way Past Worried and 2021 titles Way Past Jealous and Way Past Sad. These Social Emotional Learning books help kids explore and manage their feelings, with accompanying lesson plans, activities, and videos available for free at WayPastBooks.com. Hallee also released The Strongest Thing, a standalone picture book that reminds children of the strength found in love and kindness—and in themselves.
Whether she is sharing a story, supporting her local schools, or serving a non-profit, Adelman’s greatest passion is lifting kids, families, and creators as they share their stories, inspire change, and spread laughter. She resides outside Philadelphia, PA with her husband, daughters, and dogs.
In this episode we’ll chat about:
-How the descriptive language used in the series helps children visualize the emotion making it easy to relate to
-Diverse representation of families and character names
-The importance of using picture books to build social and emotional language and skills
-How families and educators can use these books to support children
