ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SOCIAL SKILLS A CHILD CAN LEARN IS EMPATHY.

This charming story uses verse, beautiful illustrations and a little person called Quinn to model the meaning of empathy.

Quinn shows an abundance of understanding, compassion and kindness towards others. Empathy is a learnt trait, and one to nurture in all children. Included are Discussion Questions and activities to promote empathy.

This book is best suited for children aged 3 to 9 years.

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.

Throughout the story, Quinn takes the reader on a journey of learning through the example of others, teaching children about empathy, feelings, kindness, compassion, tolerance, respect and recognizing bullying behaviours.

"Our world is so special, we all need to care
about one another and the earth we share.
People together from far and wide,
we're all on this planet, we're on the same side."

This book can be read over a number of sessions by children, or to children by parents and caregivers, or integrated into a classroom setting. There are also further discussion questions/ideas included at the back of the book.
