Beyond the Book: Faith, Feelings & Resilience
Karen and Taelor Ellenbecker co-authored My Pillow Has Wings, but the story — and the mission — didn’t end with the final page. Their shared passion and unwavering commitment to children’s emotional and spiritual development led to something greater: a transformative experience for K–8 Christian schools.
The book has evolved into a full-scale faith-forward social-emotional learning (SEL) program designed to prepare students for life’s challenges by combining emotional strength with the teachings of Christ. The Pillows with Wings Building Resilience and Strengthening Faith Program equips students with essential skills like self-awareness, emotional regulation, goal-setting, and conflict resolution — all grounded in Christian values.
