Sixty books aimed at primary and secondary readers, chosen by a team of children’s book experts from schools, libraries and the wider book world (including Dawn Woods from the School Library Association).

Sarah Mears MBE, EmpathyLab Founder and Libraries Connected Programme Manager, will be talking us through her selected highlights from the collection, explaining the ‘empathy angles’ that guided their choices and outlining the skills they hope that using the books will build.

Join us to:

• Explore ways to use the collection within an empathy context
• Demonstrate the connection between empathy and reading
• Discover the exciting plans for Empathy Day (6th June 2024) and grab some tips for getting involved using the free toolkits that will be available.

This webinar will be recorded to watch back later.
