"My Classmate Set" is a thoughtfully curated collection designed for primary schoolers, especially those transitioning into primary school. As my son prepares for this exciting new chapter next year, one of the most important things I hope he learns is the value of understanding that everyone he meets will be unique in their own way. This set of books by Ames Chen is an excellent starting point for fostering empathy and reducing judgment. Through engaging stories, it helps children develop a sense of awareness, encouraging kindness and acceptance as they navigate diverse social environments.
