My class and I are loving this as our class read. The first time Billy stutters there were some giggles, which I expected. They soon stopped though, and then I showed them I Talk and the real discussion began. Now they all laugh with Billy, not at him.

Year 8 student returning his book today said 'It was a very good book. It was sad but true as a lot of people lose their lives trying to escape to other countries.' #ReadingForEmpathy #EmpathyDay

People who know me well know that I struggled with intense shyness as a child, and still face that challenge as an adult. Kimberly Whittam, your book felt personal throughout; I cried, I felt.

Stories are a great way to help us understand more about the world & allow us to empathise with the characters & in return, empathise with people in real life. #readingforempathy #EmpathyDay2021 #LunaLovegood #CharacterMatters
