What are some examples of empathy in the book, the lemonade war?

Through various spots in the story, it is evident that, despite Mr. Treski not being in the picture, they are a close family and often spend time together. While Mrs. Treski works very hard and is often not there to play referee, the other actions that she takes, for example, asking why the children are fighting, shows that she is very much involved and cares about keeping her family together and happy. When she finally lends a supportive ear to Jessie, who breaks down in tears and tells her about Evan 'hating her' Mrs. Treski is able to offer some comfort and to guide Jessie toward reconciliation.
