Description
A Story about Showing You Care
Amelia can’t quite get why some people behave the way they do.
Why does her brother cry when it’s dark? Why does her classmate Kayla take so long to do her math? And what’s up with that strange-smelling dish that Priya brings to lunch every day? With the help of her parents, Amelia soon learns about the importance of empathy and starts to see the power it can have! Will Amelia be able to put her new-found skill to good use and help others find strength in empathy as well? Written for readers in grades K-6, this storybook also includes tips to help parents and teachers foster empathy in every child. 32 pgs.

Empathy is my Superpower by Brian Smith
In the days of bullying and child rudeness it is great to see a book that promotes something positive. Empathy is a very hard thing to teach a child. This is put in terms a child can understand and relate to. Even the youngest of children can learn from this book. Amelia (aka SuperE) can not understand why her brother Kevin is afraid of the dark and teases him. Mom explains it and Amelia decides to become SuperE. She helps out various people with all different problems. I found this book to be easy to read and delightfully positive. The illustrations by Lisa Griffin are both colorful and creative. The book does give tips in the back on how to talk to your child about empathy. I would recommend this book to anyone with a child. Anyone 8+ can read it. I am going to have my Granddaughter read it.

This book is a great way to teach children about empathy and gives some wonderful examples of how to be more empathetic. It was easy to relate to, and as a parent, I would like to read this to my daughter as I always try to choose books for her that teach her new skills.
It was nice to see that the main character, Amelia, didn't understand empathy at the beginning, and after learning what is was, we see her finding ways throughout the day to be more empathic to those around her, in a setting that children can easily relate to.
