Reviews for Empathy is my Superpower! A Story about Showing you care

[librarianryan · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This story starts of with an older sister who is mad at her crybaby brother keeping her up all night. Mom reminds Amelila that she needs to think about others feelings, and what they may be going thought. She also needs to think about how she can help others. This book looks at various scenarios where kids can practice empathy. It is done well, I just wish they would get a new illustrator. The illustrations are not bad, just not great. But in this book, it’s the message that matters.
