Creating Compassionate Leaders
Our Vision
It’s important to teach kids to leave the Earth in better shape than it is in now.
At Humane Little World, our vision is to cultivate a generation of compassionate and responsible young citizens who value the bond between animals, humans an our planet. Through our free book list exploring the animal-human-Earth bond and curated resources, we aim to empower educators and caregivers working with children in grades K-3 to instill empathy and understanding towards pets. Our goal is to provide age-appropriate lessons and activities that inspire children to recognize the responsibilities of living humanely and to actively engage in creating solutions to promote the welfare of animals, people and the natural world. With our website as a platform, we aspire to foster a kinder and more humane world for both animals and humans alike.
