What if kindness ruled the classroom and every playground was filled with compassion? In Empathy is Cool, kids ages 3 to 8 journey into a colorful, caring world where one boy learns just how powerful empathy can be.
Meet Tall Tommy Thompson-he's got big feet, big hair, and some big decisions to make! When Kooki Kali Kaufman trips and scrapes her knees, will Tommy lend a helping hand?
When Justin Jessup, who rolls in a wheelchair, wants to shoot some hoops with him and Aman Anand, will they include him? When Funny Franky Finklestein teases Big Billy Brown, will Tommy speak up and do what's right? And when Mean Martin Miller has nothing to eat for lunch, will Tommy be the one to share?
Join Tommy as he discovers the magic of empathy-seeing with your heart, helping with your hands, and making the world a little better for everyone.
With lovable characters, relatable schoolyard situations, and a message that sticks, Empathy is Cool inspires young readers to be everyday heroes-one kind choice at a time!
