Free Stand In My Shoes: Kids Learning About Empathy Ebooks Online
When Emily asks her big sister what the word empathy means, Emily has no idea that knowing the answer will change how she looks at people. But does it really matter to others if Emily notices how they're feeling? Stand in My Shoes shows kids how easy it is to develop empathy toward those around them. Empathy is the ability to notice what other people feel. Empathy leads to the social skills and personal relationships which make our lives rich and beautiful, and it is something we can help our children learn. This book teaches young children the value of noticing how other people feel. We're hoping that many parents read it along with their children.

The Love and Logic Institute has hit a home run when publishing Stand in My Shoes: Kids Learning About Empathy. As a former third grade teacher, who worked with our school's character education program, this book is absolutely what all children need to read or have read to them. Empathy or rather the lack of it is a major problem in our society today. If this concept can be understood by our children from early on, it could have a major impact on families and schools. THANK YOU, Bob Sornson for your insight into writing this book for our children. This is a beautiful book, from the story to the illustrations. I highly recommend it for all families and schools.
Just received this book and I love it! When we look at society today, we see there is a deterioration of common decency and caring. Stand in My Shoes is a great tool to help kids see how their actions affect others. Another great book from Love and Logic Press.
One way we can help kids get along, be considerate and seek kindness is by teaching them empathy. When teachers and parents ask me for book resources teaching this character trait - Stand in My Shoes is now at the top of my list. This book went above and beyond my expectations. It is concrete, kids related to the story, and it started impacting kids behavior immediately. L O V E. I would love to see a whole series of kids books from author Bob Sornson. He got this one SO right!
I am a retired nurse of 46 years and just happened to acquire the position of Elementary School Librarian along with teaching Character Education. This book was an excellent tool to use in the Pre-K through the 2nd grade to teach Emphathy. I also used examples from the book in the 3rd through 5th grade classes.
This book has been a God Send for a child I am doing therapy with! it really got through and helped open up conversations!
Stand in My Shoes is one of those little treasures that needs to be shared over and over. It captures the essence of what empathy is about and provides a child like access to this universal truth. The foundational values of our society have been clouded with media influence and a 24/7 lifestyle. We have found with our grandchildren that the book has provided a wonderful set of talking points.
I read this book to my grand kids who range in age from 3-7 years old. They not only understood the concept of empathy, but the book prompted a wonderful discussion about current situations in school and home where empathy was important and could make a difference. Empathy is a difficult topic for children to understand, and this book gave excellent concrete examples that children could relate to.
Bob's book clearly explains the value of empathy and makes a strong, simple case for why children mastering it (at a very young age) is so, so crucial...I recommend this story to all young parents and elementary school teachers as a must-have in their homes and classrooms.
