I’m so happy that CROSSING THE LINE got to be in this collection. I really hope it can make a difference to young people’s lives. ☺️

Books are amazing tools to help us make sense of our own challenges, and empathise with other people’s. Here are some picks from the 2024 #ReadForEmpathy collection that are perfect for exploring the issues faced by children and teens. #EmpathyDay empathylab.uk/RFE-2024
