In the Right Lane is an SEL-based poetry collection that includes many confidence-building and motivational pieces for the Middle-Grade audience (ages 8 to 12). Every kid should have a dream, a plan, a path, and a future. This collection of poetry is meant to inspire a new way of thinking to help kids find their lane through poetry and help them navigate life on the road to happiness. Coping techniques, managing emotions, and finding your place in the world are points that are explored. These pieces also capture the pure joy of being a kid. Experiencing nature, feelings of love, and - of course - acceptance of self. This book is a guidepost for upper elementary and middle school-aged children on those topics.
