Books can help young ones develop empathy and a deeper understanding of themselves and each other. Kids can check out the featured book from the library, read it, and at the end of the month, meet and respectfully discuss insights and thoughts about the prevailing themes.  We'll read novels that address such topics as cultural diversity, neurodiversity, mental health, and more. Grades 3 and up
