When children hear the word kindness, do they really understand what it means? In this episode, publisher and author Lisa M. Umina welcomes Tracey Roegiers, a retired special education teacher turned children’s author, for a candid talk that moves far beyond the pages of her debut book, "The Paper Chain of Kindness."
Tracey shares how her book grew from her decades in the classroom, where she witnessed how children often need help translating big concepts like kindness into actions they can see and feel. She and Lisa discuss how playful tools, like the classroom kindness chain featured in her book, can help bridge that gap in understanding and turn empathy into something real.
