About the book

Amelia has difficulty trying to figure out why people behave the way they do.  Her brother Kevin cries in the dark, Kayla, a friend from school has so much difficulty getting her math assignments completed and Priya brings a strange lunch to school that is totally foreign to Amelia and always eats alone because nobody will eat with her.  Her wise parents school her in the art of empathy and Amelia takes it upon herself to become a crusader to practise it whenever she can intervene and show someone that she cares what they are feeling.  She dons a cape and empathy becomes her superpower.  She realizes the power that empathy generates and is so happy to reach out to others to give them a helping hand when they are struggling.  

The illustrations are sweet and the message is positive.  The book includes tips on how to talk to your children about extending empathy to others in their own life.  This is a great story for parents and educators to read aloud.  It will invoke discussions on what empathy means and how using it will change the world and make it a much better place to live.  I highly recommend it.

Meet the author

Hello. My name is Bryan Smith. I was born and raised in Texas. I have been in elementary education for the past 18 years. The last 13 years have been spent as an elementary school counselor. During this time, I have seen many behaviors from children I wanted to see changed. Examples include changing yourself to fit in, children controlling their impulses, and bad sportsmanship. I decided to write books address these issues in a humorous way. I am so grateful to get to work with children every day. I have been married for 17 years and have two wonderful boys. I spend much of my time coaching their sports! I hope you enjoy my books and thank you for your support.
