If you’re looking for empathy and kindness with an alien species, check out the Wayfarers books by Becky Chambers.

I came here to recommend The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, but couldn’t recall the writer’s name.
I should have known someone would have suggested the series.

I liked that book pretty well, but the rationalization for all the aliens being like various species of earth life seemed kind of thin to me.
