Reading Rockets: Books to Build Empathy

Posted on January 19, 2005

Reading Rockets has a list of books that parents and teachers can use to help children grasp the human aspect of the disaster in a non-threatening way. The books on the list don’t explain how a tsunami is formed or illustrate its terrible aftermath -- instead, they highlight children whose lives are outwardly different but inwardly the same as
children everywhere. For more information, contact Laurie Fry at 503-399-7999.
