📖 Sesame Street – Book: Circle of Good

The book includes clickable pages, animation, and gentle narration for early readers.
The story shows that even little things — like a smile or helping a friend — can start a chain reaction of kindness.
This resource is great for starting conversations about empathy and paying it forward.
