Acknowledgements

This website is part of my Monroe Scholars summer research project.

I received funding from the Charles Center at William & Mary to complete this project.

A special thanks to Dr. Meghan Quinn for being my project advisor. Thank you for your endless guidance, advice, and support over the summer! I would have been lost in creating this project without a mentor like you.

Thanks to the Lebanon Community Library for providing the books analyzed in this project.

Thank you to the best fourth grade teachers I know: Sue Danielewicz and Lynnette Peterschmidt! Thank you for your book recommendations, insight on Social Emotional Learning, and for believing in me since day one.

Last but certainly not least, thank you to my friends and family who challenged me to try something out of my comfort zone. I would not have been able to finish this project without your encouragement!
