Exploring how art fosters children’s emotional intelligence reveals that, much like the detailed worlds readers envision from books, they craft rich internal landscapes as they engage with stories told through visual mediums.

Rachael McDaniel skillfully navigates children through the landscape of their emotions, using art’s expressive force as her compass.
