Shanna Truffini’s children’s book and platform, You Are a Gardener®️ uses gardening vocabulary to help kids identify strong emotions and turn them into empowering and positive solutions.
Since You Are a Gardener® was published in December of 2017, Shanna Truffini has developed several new social and emotional learning (SEL) programs to help empower children with tools to help their 'gardens' grow healthy and strong. Throughout the past 4 years, Shanna has worked with various organizations and school districts throughout NJ both virtually and in-person. Her #PullYourWeeds® Workshops are an organic and simplified approach to SEL and infuses easily with preexisting programs.
All Truffini's programs are rooted in the power of the words flowers, weeds and seeds. This universal language helps create a new narrative for children to navigate their emotions through an empowering process that helps them proceed confidently and calmly.
