The series: For children to have a healthy social life built on effective relationships, they need to develop empathy, the ability to put themselves in others' shoes, and to understand and feel things the way another person experiences them. The illustrated books of this series set out to meet this need, promoting emotional intelligence. With an approach suggested for parents and teachers, they aim to teach children to see the world through someone else's eyes, after first learning to recognise and manage their own emotions.
