What are some great books for kids that teach empathy?

Here are a few wonderful books that can help teach kids about empathy: 'The Invisible Boy' by Trudy Ludwig, 'Last Stop on Market Street' by Matt de la Peña, and 'Each Kindness' by Jacqueline Woodson. Would you like more recommendations?

Yes, can you tell me more about 'The Invisible Boy'?

'The Invisible Boy' tells the story of a boy named Brian who feels unnoticed and left out at school. Through the kindness of a new classmate, he learns the importance of empathy and connection. It's beautifully illustrated and conveys a powerful message about inclusion.

That sounds great! Are there any activities I can do with my kids after reading these books?

Absolutely! After reading, you can discuss the characters' feelings and ask your kids how they would feel in similar situations. You could also create a kindness jar where they can write down acts of kindness they observe or want to do.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely check those out.
