To celebrate 10 years of EmpathyLab, and to mark the National Year of Reading, we’re thrilled to introduce our 9 Ambassadors.

These inspiring authors and illustrators embody EmpathyLab’s values of hope and connection. Long-time supporters of our mission, they’re helping us build empathy-educated generations, ensuring every child can benefit from the power of reading.

As empathy role models and educators, they champion stories as one of the most powerful ways to connect — with ourselves, others, and with the world.
