Review Quotes:
"This accessible, inclusive picture book offers guidance to young children navigating the early stages of making and keeping friends. The writing speaks directly to the reader in a conversational tone, which both validates the children's feelings and models prosocial behaviours...Well-suited to be read aloud to a class at the beginning of the school year, or in response to peer conflict to support community building and emotional development."
