Empathy
What is this story about?
Lumi and the Quiet Delivery is a gentle TinyTales Land story for children that explores empathy. Scooter arrives in Paddington with three parcels and none of his usual cheer, but Lumi's first attempts to help only make him quieter. Families can read it together at bedtime, during quiet time or as a starting point for a calm conversation about the choices and feelings in the story.
What can children learn from this story?
Quick solutions can feel overwhelming when someone first needs understanding. Empathy does not require us to pretend a problem is unimportant. A thoughtful question can help another person explain what they need.
