Picture books are empathy machines. Once a child is old enough to receive empathy, picture books keep generating more. If you want a kinder world, read kids picture books. Lots and lots of picture books.

"Julianna tells her own tale in simple, accessible language that will warm readers to her plight...Metallinou's brightly hued illustrations lovingly convey Julianna’s emotions, with touches of humor and compassion." ―Kirkus Reviews
