Our setting is Smartview Village, a small intentional community formed to practice these inner relational skills. The way they live changes. These families recognize the value of sharing their stories. Each book includes three short stories featuring one family. A fourth story features our Inner Companions. Based on Focusing and neuroscience concepts, these three characters help us understand our inner world.

Within each Smartview Stories book, our three stories are Flesch-Kincaid Reading Level Grade 3, supplemental pages are Grades 4-6. The characters and events portrayed in our books are fictitious and based on real life experiences. There is an understanding that human beings are living processes. To go with each storybook, we're developing Facilitator Guides for Parents, Teachers, Therapists, Coaches, Anyone Mentoring Others in Relational Skills to support using these as emotional literacy educational curriculum.
