Hi readers! When I was a teacher, I was always trying to find ways to teach difficult concepts to my students. Teaching empathy can be an abstract concept for children to learn. Flip Side Stories was created from a desire to teach children to see things from another point of view and walk in someone else's shoes.

I wrote a story called A Day Without Ms. Hatting to teach my students what it's like to be a Guest Teacher in a classroom. It takes the perspective of a child's day in the classroom when the teacher was absent. I wrote the flip side of story exactly the same but from the Guest Teacher's point of view. My students responded so well to the story. I also had my students illustrate it and I read it to them whenever I planned to be out of the classrooom.  

This was the beginning of Flip Side Stories. I have written many more about kindness to animals, losing something, giving, the homeless, writing to soldiers and self perception. I have also started to write some about bullying, caring for the earth and more.  

I hope you enjoy my stories and share them with your friends, family and new aquaintances. Please take a look around and enjoy your time on The Flip Side. Amber
