You, Me and Empathy

Meet Quinn! A little person with a big heart full of empathy, kindness and compassion.

One of the most important social skills a child can learn is empathy. This charming story uses carefully-crafted verse, beautiful illustrations and a little person called Quinn to model the meaning of empathy. Empathy is a learnt trait, and one to nurture in all children. Being able to understand how another person is feeling and recognizing their needs helps people to connect to one another across race, culture, and the diversity that is ever-present and so important to our world.

Helpful and thought-provoking Discussion Questions are included as well as extra activities to promote empathy.

Resilience

Meet Emmi! She is resilient, independent and courageous. She always tries her best, and even when the going gets tough, Emmi never gives in.

Children who are resilient are brave, curious, confident and problem solvers. Nurturing these traits in our children will go a long way in helping them face the many challenges they will encounter throughout their lives.

Included are Discussion Questions for parents, caregivers and educators, and suggested activities to promote children's resilience.
