Ginny Bootman – Follow the Empathy Road
About the Session
This presentation looks at the role which books can make in helping children understand the role which empathy can and should play in our lives. Ginny will take you on a journey through books she has shared with young people and simple ways in which she has helped them become part of that story and the feelings evoked within it. You will go away feeling the heartbreak, love and loss for many different characters and be able to use these skills for books you already love.
