Empathy is Your Superpower is such an important book for kids and their caregivers because so many kids don't know how to talk about their own feelings or those of others. Dr. Bussolari has a wealth of clinical experience with a variety of people, and I love the diversity of characters and situations depicted in this book. She offers prompts that are essential in starting the conversation with kids about feelings and empathy. --Joan Breault, EdD, LCMHC Every kid needs to engage with this book! Empathy is such a vital social skill. Dr. Bussolari works wonders through superheroes Emma and Emmanuel to help kids identify and understand their feelings and the feelings of others--the underlying traits of true empathy. This book's diverse cast of characters and vibrant illustrations speak to us through relatable scenarios while asking important questions that foster kindness and compassion. The last section of the book has a wonderful mix of activities for parents, educators, and caregivers to further the discussion about empathy, a true superpower. I highly recommend this book! --Dr. Heidi Horsley, Licensed Psychologist, Executive Director of Open to Hope Foundation, and Adjunct Professor at Columbia University Empathy is one of those skills we all want our children to have but can sometimes struggle with teaching because it can be so abstract. Finally, there's a book that does a beautiful job of explaining what empathy is in a way that kids can understand it and apply it in their daily lives. I especially love the activities at the end for parents to use to build empathy skills. Dr. Bussolari's book is going to be a go-to and well-loved resource for me as a school psychologist and as a parent of young children myself! --Dr. Rebecca Branstetter, Founder of The Thriving School Psychologist Collective
