💭 When children read, they’re not just following a plot, they’re stepping into someone else’s shoes, seeing the world through different eyes and exploring thoughts, feelings and experiences beyond their own.

This Empathy Day Festival why not dive into Spark Empathy with Chanté Timothy and get creative with our FREE Empathy Comic Strip resource. Sometimes a few pictures, a speech bubble and a big imagination can open the door to meaningful conversations.
