By Crystal Morgan

The Empathetic Cousin (Motivational Short Stories for Kids Series) What happens when kindness meets cruelty on the playground?

Jared and Jacob are athletic, competitive, and determined to win-no matter the cost. But when their cousin Leo, who believes in fairness and respect, steps in, the boys begin to see the world differently. And when Tonya, a new neighbor with dreams of competing in the Paralympics, asks to jo n their game, the cousins face a challenge they never expected.

Will Jared and Jacob learn to open their hearts and see Tonya for her abilities instead of her wheelchair? or will their pride cost them a chance at friendship-and an important lesson about life? This heartwarming story teaches kids the power of empathy, kindness, and respect for others, no matter their differences.

Perfect for young readers ages 6-12, The Empathetic Cousin is a powerful reminder that a little compassion can 90 a long way-and sometimes, the people you include today might be the ones who help you tomorrow.
