What happens when you take notice and care for a friend? Meet Max, a little boy with a BIG heart, learning to show empathy and help his friend.

"I Feel With My Heart" is a tender, empowering story about empathy, kindness, and seeing the world through someone else's eyes. When Max visits the aquarium, he's filled with excitement, until he sees a classmate crying. Instead of looking away, Max reaches out. Later, he welcomes a new student at school and helps him feel seen, included, and valued. Through small but powerful choices, Max shows that empathy lives in our everyday actions.
