You can lecture a child about kindness — or you can show them. Stories stick deeper than speeches, and this one makes empathy feel simple, natural, and beautiful. Kids see CoCo helping her human and immediately understand what compassion looks like in motion.
Parents say the story has become a moral compass — a gentle reminder that people experience the world differently and that those differences deserve respect and love. No shame, no fear, no confusion — just understanding. That’s the magic of storytelling done right.
If you want to plant the seeds of kindness early, this book is one of the easiest ways to do it.
