A free resource for school counselors, CASA volunteers, social workers, teachers, and foster/kinship caregivers.
Find the right book for the moment in front of you
Every book in the Steady Heart Series was written to open one specific, real conversation — housing instability, deployment, disability, divorce, food insecurity, memory loss, and more. This free two-page guide organizes the whole series by topic and age range, so you can find the right story fast, whether you’re prepping for a session, stocking a classroom shelf, or building a resource list for families.
What’s inside:
- Every Steady Heart title organized by the situation it helps with — not just the title
- Age ranges at a glance
- A one-line description of what each story helps a child work through
- A reminder that every title includes a free discussion guide and matching activity sheet
Written by Sheradun Strand, a longtime CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer. Every book in the guide grew out of a real child, a real moment, and a real need for the right story at the right time.
