Boek 'Savy's Speurtocht'

My daughter and I finished it in one sitting, and the way the story shows how a single reaction can ripple through someone else’s day really opened up a conversation we hadn’t had before. The writing is gentle but direct, perfect for sparking empathy without feeling preachy.

My six-year-old kept asking to read it again the same night, which never happens. The way it turns a simple story into a conversation about feelings is exactly what I was hoping for.

My 7-year-old asked if we could do a scavenger hunt together after we finished the story, which shows how well the empathy theme connects with kids. The conversations it sparked about kindness were deeper than I expected from a children's book.
