A Little SPOT of Empathy: A Story about Understanding and Kindness (Inspire to Create A Better You!)

As an elementary school counselor, these books are going to quickly become an important addition to my counseling library! When I previews some of the Spot books, I quickly scooped up as many of them as I could. I can’t wait to dig into them more, and use them in classroom lessons, groups, and with individual students.The Empathy book is wonderful, fresh look at this important topic! The language is so kid-friendly, and will really help me convey these soft skills to my students. The book has relatable scenarios in it, with realistic interactions and conversations between the characters. I look forward to using this with my students soon!

We love Diane’s “Little SPOT of” books. We are using them to support our child’s emotional development and increase his competency for emotional regulation and connection with others. This book compliments other books she has written and is a nice building block for helping children in the emotional intelligence journey. It gives an example of what empathy looks like, and additional ideas of how we can practice using it with others. Child-friendly language and examples are used throughout all of the books. Drawing are simple, interesting and colorful. They also use consistent color to represent different feelings. A really great addition to any emotional regulation tool kit for young children. Keep creating and inspiring others to create too Diane!

I am a preschool teacher and what I like about this book is the pictures. They are simple and clear. The story isn't too wordy and gave great examples. I think the book is good for both adults and children. Empathy is what we are working on in the classroom. I think this story is also a good introduction to exploring different emotions and understanding them.

Another stunning Spot Book by Diane Sober who gives colorful examples of hard to understand feelings. The illustrations are unique and attention getting. I highly recommend this book and this relatable series. Empathy spot helps us to understand the feelings of others. He shows us how with fun examples. He also introduced us to a new word perspective. Its not as hard a word as it may look. Trust in Empathy Spot. He will help you understand.

Diane Alber's Little Spot series has been life changing in our home! My daughter has some big feelings and for a while had trouble expressing those feelings. The Little Spot series has helped tremendously! These sweet books help children understand feelings and learn how to deal with them in very positive ways. The way she gets the message across is brilliant, easy to understand and fun for kiddos to read/listen to. My children have both adapted many of her coping skills and I truly cannot say enough about this series! I'd give 10 stars if I could!

I work with elementary age kiddos in a therapeutic setting and I have recently begun utilizing the Little spot of feelings and emotions books. These books are a wonderful way to teach kiddos about different feelings and emotions, and how to manage those feelings. The books make the concepts much more kid friendly. I love that this book builds on the other books to teach perspective taking and empathy to kiddos. I can't wait to get the hard copy version to add to the collection.

Love the way this describes Empathy but it looks like a fly was caught during production (this squished fly is under the cover coating) and now my little girl won’t touch it (just gave it to her and outside the return window).Would love a clean copy and can gift this one to a heartier bug-living kid 😆

Just discovered these books and love what I see so far! Bought my first book for our grandkids and can’t wait to get it. Diane does a great job explaining feelings and character traits for little kids. Important to learn these things, but in particular with the world we live in today. Also like the examples she includes. What else attracts me to these books is how colorful they are! Will definitely suggest these books to the young moms that I know.

The Little Spot books are fantastic to use teaching kids about different emotions and emotion regulation. I have almost all of them and use them daily in my psychology practice. Highly recommended!

We love the Little SPOT books. Empathy is a great addition to the others. The pictures are great and such a wonderful job of teaching kids perspective and how to think others are feeling.

Important skill that is universally lacking. Thank you for writing his book for kids. Yes 2 thumbs up from us

We will definitely be using it in our community class! Easy to understand and has great visuals. Great resource to teach Empathy.

I have two sons, one diagnosed on the Autism spectrum, and we love these books! We own most of them
