We've Got This! Six Steps to Build your Empathy Superpower, written by Rashmi Sirdeshpande in partnership with EmpathyLab, is the essential empathy handbook for young readers.

In just SIX simple steps readers will be taught how to harness empathy as theirhuman SUPERPOWER, and discover how using this power can change their lives and the world around them for the better.

The emotional well-being of children is just as important as their physical health but it’s not something that all children are taught about or are offered support for. Harnessing empathy and growing their emotional intelligence allows children and young people to develop the resilience to cope with life's ups and downs as well as understand and experience other people's emotions, feelings and points of view.

This essential handbook, created in collaboration with EmpathyLab, the UK's leading empathy research organisation, includes:

  • Digestible steps that teach children about empathy in a fun and exciting way
  • Case studies that children can relate to and learn from
  • Empathy exercises and activities to improve understanding of empathy
  • Quotes, advice and support from renowned authors
We've Got This! Six Steps to Build your Empathy Superpower unites contributions from world-famous authors, including a foreword from Sir Michael Morpurgo, and inspirational quotes about empathy from authors including Cressida Cowell, Joseph Coelho, Nadia Shireen, Malorie Blackman, Jaqueline Wilson, Sue Cheung, Jen Carney, Manon Steffan Ros, Ben Davis, Patrice Lawrence, Abigail Balfe, Dom Conlon and SF Said.

Empathy is our human SUPERPOWERWe've Got This! Six Steps to Build your Empathy Superpower, gives children the tools, confidence and knowledge to harness this very special power.
