When I Think I Like Someone Jordan's Story

By Johanna Sparrow

When Jordan begins to notice new feelings for a classmate, something inside him changes. His heart beats faster. His thoughts start asking questions. And suddenly his mind is full of stories about what might happen next.

Is she smiling at him?

Did he imagine the moment?

What if she doesn't feel the same way?

As Jordan's thoughts race, he slowly begins to discover something important: feelings are normal, but the stories we tell ourselves about them can make them louder. Through everyday moments at school, at home, and with friends, Jordan learns how to slow his thoughts, listen to his body, and stay true to who he is.

When I Think I Like Someone: Jordan's Story is a gentle and thoughtful social-emotional learning story that helps children understand growing feelings, self-awareness, and confidence. Written in Johanna Sparrow's calm and reflective voice, this ShineSmart(TM) story helps young readers learn that they can experience big emotions without losing themselves.

Perfect for children ages 10-12, parents, teachers, and counselors looking for stories that support emotional growth, self-reflection, and healthy relationships.
