This week we are celebrating inclusion, kindness and empathy by reading two books from the same author, Cori Doerrfeld. Both of these books are favorites of mine! I will be reading The Rabbit Listened to the younger grades and Beneath to the older grades. The Rabbit Listened is a sweet story about how everyone wants to tell a child how to handle big emotions. But it isn’t until the rabbit sits beside him and just listens that allows him to open up and express his emotions. In Beneath, a child and a grandparent discover more about each other as they explore the natural world together, uncovering the hidden feelings lying beneath them. Both books are excellent at teaching empathy and awareness of others.
