Hoopoe Books’ acclaimed All About Me series helps readers aged 12 to 21 understand what they’re going through during the critical period of transition from adolescence to adulthood. Entertaining, informative and ideal for social-emotional learning, the four books help readers not only understand themselves, but take advantage of the formative period they’re navigating.
The books provide fundamental information about human nature – useful, scientifically validated information that should be common knowledge but, sadly, isn’t. For example, what psychologists know about how we see, think and feel; how those abilities work; how they change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us.
Written in an engaging and accessible style that’s peppered with illustrative quotes from real-life teens and fun activities to drive the lessons home, the All About Me books are brought to life by a lovable cast of teenage comic characters who take the reader on an entertaining, enlightening and unforgettable journey.
All four titles, which were first published more than a decade ago, have been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association’s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science / Adolescence and Young Adulthood.
