The series: In order for children to ensure a healthy social life grounded in effective relationships, they must cultivate empathy, the ability to put themselves in others' shoes, to understand and feel things the same way another person experiences them. This need is addressed by the illustrated books of this series, which promote emotional intelligence. With the proposed approach for parents and educators, they aim to immerse children in seeing the world through others' eyes, after they first learn to recognize and manage their own emotions. The series "Books that Promote Emotional Intelligence" consists of 27 books.
