UNSELFIE Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World

Michele Borba's latest book provides parenting instruction on teaching one's children empathy. Narrator Cassandra Campbell is the perfect fit for sharing the nine strategies Borba suggests. The introduction, read by the author, provides the reasons why empathy remains important, even in a technology-driven world. Borba reads her words as only an author can, setting the stage for the descriptions, ideas, and examples she shares in the rest of the audiobook. Campbell presents the remainder of the text in a clear, even voice. The nine habits are divided into three sections: teaching empathy, practicing empathy, and living empathetically. The narration is well done, and since the author presents activities to complete with children of different ages, listeners may want to keep a pen and paper handy.
