If we want to help children live compassionately, we must also help them develop courage. This picture book inspires children with the many ways they can make the world better, and fill the big shoes of past leaders. The book reminds children in several ways that this will not be easy, but it also gives them (unnamed) examples of people who have courageously acted for freedom, knowledge, kindness, and beauty.                                       (https://www.rebekahgienapp.com/)

For many children, showing compassion towards animals is a way they learn to develop kindness in general, making this an ideal book for exploring kindness. This is a true story of an Iraqi family who fled the violence of Mosul. The mother Sura is determined that their beloved cat Kunkush must come with them on their uncertain journey. When their crowded boat lands in Greece, Kunkush is lost in the chaos.                                                                         (https://www.rebekahgienapp.com/)

Auggie does the same things that ordinary kids do, including adventures with his dog Daisy. But he knows he doesn’t look like other children, and sometimes they say things that hurt him. He does know that he is a wonder, and dreams of the time when other children will be able to see that too.     (https://www.rebekahgienapp.com)
