Read For Empathy 2025

I am absolutely thrilled to share that We Are Here has been selected for the Read for Empathy Collection 2025! It’s an incredible honour to see this book included in this important initiative, which helps children and families build empathy through the power of stories.

I wrote We Are Here with empathy at its heart—hoping to inspire understanding, connection and kindness. To know that it will now reach even more young readers as part of this collection means the world to me.

The Read for Empathy collection features an amazing list of books, all chosen for their ability to foster compassion and understanding. I’m deeply honoured to be among such brilliant authors and stories that make a difference.

You can find out more about the collection here. Please share these books with the children in your life—together, we can help grow a more empathetic world!
