One child goes on a journey of empathy, and learns so many things along the way. Comes with a discussion guide for parents, making it ideal for lapsits.

A child takes you through a story explaining different situations of understanding called empathy. From when his mother was sick, brother hurt his knee, or when a little girl was knocked down by a dog. He tried to understand to be helpful and make them feel better.
