Hallie loves school—her teacher, her friends, and the small moments that fill each day. But when she notices classmates feeling sad, left out, or hurt, Hallie wonders how she can help. Then Miss Rhonda introduces a brand-new word: empathy.

As Hallie listens, shares, and comforts others, she discovers that empathy means imagining how someone else feels—and that her own heart is bigger than she ever knew.

An illustrated, warm and gentle story for early readers, Hallie's Big Heart offers a tender introduction to empathy and reminds children that caring for others is something they can practice every day. Perfect for families and educators.
