Thanks Sanjay, similarly this was sparked by wanting an a EA storybook for our kid as well.
There are some wonderful kindness and empathy books (eg- “We are all kind” by P. Crumble and Jonathan Bentley) but would be great to have some more aligned with EA principles and ideas.
As for evidence, agreed.
I aim to do a more deep dive during the book creation process, but the initial skim of the literature seems encouraging, with some research showing potential transfer effects of morals/cultural attitudes to kids through storybooks, particularly at younger ages.
That said, I’ll share a more structured post once I’ve gone into the primary sources, before the ebook launch.
If such evidence is strong, agree that makes the project more impactful (and vice versa) - that is, beyond simply satisfying the desire for such a book from fellow EA parents
Appreciate you joining, and looking forward to the feedback...
