Spotted Fish and Striped Fish

Social and Emotional skills are essential building blocks for creating a well-rounded and successful person. Development of the emotional skill of Empathy is the path to ultimately accepting people for who and what they are. Spotted Fish and Striped Fish is the story of two fish that exhibit opposite behaviors: one desirable, one that needs to learn how to be less judgmental and more sociable. Striped Fish models self-awareness behaviors that will lead to greater acceptance, both personally and socially. Spotted Fish is the fish that learns from Striped Fish how to share, help, and care for his fellow fish no matter what their differences may be. Sharing, helping, and caring are hallmark empathetic behaviors. Practicing empathy will help everyone see past color, economic circumstance, or disability. The back matter of the book provides a Parent/Teacher Guide and three worksheets to help parents and teachers teach the concept of Empathy.
