This book is a beautiful and practical guide to something we often take for granted: empathy. Drawing on her experiences as a doctor, educator, and mother, Dr. Nicole Audet explains not just what empathy is, but how we can practice it in everyday life.
The book is divided into three parts: theory, real life stories, and practical exercises. The theory provides a clear framework for understanding empathy, while the stories make it come alive. I found myself moved by the personal and professional anecdotes, which reveal how empathy can heal wounds, mend relationships, and create genuine human connections.
What sets this book apart is its practicality. The exercises on listening without judgment, respecting silence, and responding with wisdom are tools that anyone can apply immediately. They’re simple but profound, and I could see a difference in my own conversations after trying them.
This isn’t just a book for healthcare professionals, though they will certainly benefit from it. It’s for anyone who wants to communicate better, connect more deeply, and bring a little more kindness into the world. Truly inspiring and transformative.

Earaches and ear infections can be miserable for kids, and confusing for parents trying to explain what’s happening. This story makes the invisible visible. Lucas has an earache that keeps him from swimming, but Felix and the magical instruments explain what’s going on inside his ear and how treatment can help.
The book reassures children that ear infections are common and treatable, while also emphasizing the importance of medical care. What I particularly liked is how the story makes children feel less alone in their discomfort. Lucas’s experience mirrors what so many kids go through, and the magical medical team provides not only knowledge but comfort.
Parents will love how this story takes a stressful experience and turns it into a chance for learning and empowerment. Once again, the author combines medical expertise with imagination in a way that feels both practical and magical.

This is a wonderfully imaginative chapter book for middle grade readers. When Luke and Lucy’s parents threaten to sell their dog, the children decide to turn the tables by putting their parents up for sale! What follows is a series of hilarious and sometimes slightly spooky encounters as families come to “buy” or “trade” parents.
The humor is irresistible, but the book also has a strong moral core. Beneath the laughs is a story about family bonds, responsibility, and appreciation. The plot moves quickly, the illustrations add charm, and the mix of fantasy and reality keeps kids hooked from start to finish.
It’s no surprise this book has won awards it strikes the perfect balance between fun and meaningful storytelling. Children will love the mischief, while parents will appreciate the gentle reminder of family values. A true gem in children’s chapter books.
