Authors & Illustrators
EmpathyLab is supported by an ever-growing army of authors and illustrators. They help us use the power
of stories to build empathy.
Scientific research shows that it’s their book characters which build our real-life empathy, so they are vitally important partners and ambassadors. We hope every author and illustrator can get involved on future Empathy Days.
We have been lucky enough to work with so many authors and illustrators to give us a wealth of content around the joys of reading and the power of empathy, from our #ReadForEmpathy Illustrators’ Gallery to
author blogs, podcasts, readings and book recommendations.

Our most recent Empathy Day was supported by host of authors and illustrators who provided a day of fun activities for children to join in with at home or in school. You can see what they got up to on the day here.
