Friendship for children is something that is exciting and difficult at the same time. Most kids love playing with others but some can have trouble sharing. Some kids are naturally kind and others have trouble. Some kids can stand up for themselves and others with no issues while others find that awkward. Some kids are outgoing by nature and others tend to be shy. Friendship has many parts and it doesn’t always come easy to everyone. These friendship books are a fantastic way to help children see how to be a good friend, how to share, and how to communicate with other kids.
