About this book
Our friends are all different but one thing is true, each one is quite precious and that includes YOU!
All over the world and from since time began, we show every day that TOGETHER WE CAN!
Celebrate the joy of friendship in all its forms. Friends can look like you, or look different, they can speak a different language, live close by or far away. They can even have four legs or six!
Friends make you feel good about yourself and help you out when you need it. But friendship is not just about having friends, it's about being a friend too. And for children who find making friends tricky, there are some top tips about how to go about it!
A wonderfully diverse look at friendship for young children.
