Radical Ray: Australia's Little Champion for Big Change
"An extraordinary celebration of the power of everyday kindness and thoughtful action... demonstrating that anyone can make a positive difference. Very highly recommended." - Asher Syed, Readers' Favorite
What if your child discovered they don't have to wait until they're older to make a difference?
Most children hear they matter. Radical Ray explores what becomes possible when a child starts acting like it's true.
Eight-year-old Ray Roxby isn't the most popular kid in school. He's not a superhero. He's simply a boy who notices people and decides not to wait for somebody else. What follows is a ripple effect that changes far more than he ever expected.
A five-star Readers' Favorite award winner, Radical Ray is a social emotional learning book for kids that blends humour, emotional intelligence, empathy, kindness, friendship, and resilience into a story children actually want to read. Set in Sydney, Australia, Ray's adventures spark laughter while exploring what it means to belong, care for others, and make a positive difference in the world around you.
Perfect for children aged 7 to 10, this SEL chapter book helps young readers develop empathy, confidence, emotional awareness, friendship skills, and a stronger belief in their ability to make a difference. Parents, teachers, school counselors, and homeschool educators will appreciate a story that teaches important life lessons without ever feeling like a lesson.
One of the few social emotional learning books that centres a boy navigating big feelings with humour and heart, Radical Ray also works beautifully as a bibliotherapy book, classroom read aloud, school counseling resource, or family read. It is an ideal choice for families searching for books about empathy for children, kindness books for kids, social emotional learning books for kids, and stories that help children understand the power of their choices.
Books for emotionally sensitive children rarely feel this real. Ray does. And children who read him tend to remember him.
Book 1 of the Radical Ray series by Bobbi Chegwyn.
Available in paperback and Kindle.
