Purchase options and add-ons

Kindness matters! Especially towards ourselves.
When Esperanza finds a heart-shaped rock, she sees it as a reminder to spread kindness and love in the world. But when the school play doesn't go as planned, will she remember to show kindness to herself?

We talk to kids a lot about how to be friends with others but less about how to be friends with themselves.

Yet when kids show themselves empathy and understanding, especially when they make mistakes, it helps build their emotional resilience, growth mindset, and sense of well-being.

Listening with My Heart reminds kids of the other golden rule-- to treat themselves with the same understanding and kindness they show others. It also touches on the universal themes of friendship and inclusion.

Listening with My Heart includes kid-friendly mindfulness and self-compassion activities that support the book’s message. It’s a beautiful addition to your home or school social-emotional library!

(Available in Spanish as: Escuchando con mi Corazón.)
