"Sophie Learns to Listen: is a picture book written by a female author named Kristin Johnson. The story talks about a young child who finds it difficult to comprehend the value of listening to others. In the beginning of the novel, Sophie is more preoccupied with her own feelings and thoughts. She frequently interrupts other people and doesn't listen carefully to what they have to say. Later on, Sophie comes across circumstances that make her aware of how her actions affect other people. She begins to see how important listening is to establishing rapport and demonstrating her concern. In the end, Sophie has developed greater consideration and attention to detail. She now actively listens to her friends and family, which has improved her relationships with them.
I will use it myself and I will promote it to all early childhood education teachers because it makes it easier for me to demonstrate to my kids the value and advantages of listening to others with genuine attention. It also demonstrates how important listening is to demonstrating that we comprehend the emotions of others around us. The secret to comprehending everything in life is to listen.
