RAR #139: Kindness Over Curiosity: Favorite Books Featuring Differently Abled Characters


Listen Later

Is there a better way to nurture empathy and compassion than through books? That’s the question we address in this episode with special guest, Courtney Westlake

Courtney’s daughter, Brenna, was born with a skin condition that makes her appear “different” to many people. 

On today’s show, Courtney shares not just her family’s experience, but also how we can teach our kids kindness and understanding when it comes to differences.


In this episode, you’ll hear: 

  • how to help kids grow in empathy
  • how books help us walk in another person’s shoes
  • our favorite books for teaching about differences and disabilities
