You Are a Social Detective! Explaining Social Thinking to Kids, 2nd Edition (Storybook)

The social world is a big, complicated place where we are all social detectives as we observe, gather, and make sense of the clues in different social situations (settings, the people in them, what’s happening) to figure out the hidden rules for expected behaviours, as well as to understand how we each feel and think about what others say and do in a situation. This multiple award-winning 2nd edition storybook teaches social learners the power of observation, reading context, and interpreting clues to then eventually choose how to respond in ways that meet their social goals. Kids will learn how to develop their own social detective skills as they enjoy new colourful illustrations and are entertained by a diverse cast of characters, including our new female Social Detective on the case!
