My Project

I believe pet books are particularly important for kids as they foster emotional connections and empathy. Kids love to read and learn about pet, create slide decks to convince parents to allow a new pet and dream of possible "best friends."

The unconditional love of a pet can do more than keep a child company.

Pets may also decrease stress, improve heart health, and even help children with their emotional and social skills. Studies show kids with difficulties are calmer and more engaged when reading to animals. Animals can be a bridge builder to human friend and allow a child to foster empathy towards other.
