Selecting the 2020 Book Collections
Selecting the books for our 2020 Read for Empathy Collections
On 22nd January 2020, we published the 2020 Read for Empathy Guides for parents and teachers, with thirty three books for 4-11 year olds and seventeen books for 11-16 year olds. Both book collections are available to buy
from our partners Peters and from independent bookshops.
The books have been carefully chosen by a panel of 12 judges,
national experts and grassroots practitioners from schools, public libraries and organisations such as Amnesty, the School Library Association and the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education. In the videos below they reveal the thinking behind their choices and the themes in the 2020 collections.
EmpathyLab has produced a Read for Empathy Book Collection with accompanying Read for Empathy Book Guides annually since 2017.
