What makes us a good friend? And what might make us a not-so-good friend? What can friends do together? And how do we make friends?
Best-selling author Molly Potter presents practical advice on helping children understand how to make friends, what it means to be a true friend and how to cope with the tricky parts of friendship. Will You Be My Friend? is ideal for starting conversations about friendship and includes a guide for parents and carers about supporting a child if they are having friendship difficulties.
With fun and lively illustrations from Sarah Jennings, this book is both humorous and charming, and prompts children to discuss the idea of friendship with parents and peers. Learning to build and maintain friendships also helps children with important life skills such as sharing, negotiating, empathising and that all-important apology when things go wrong.
Let's Talk books help you start meaningful conversations with your child. Written by an expert and covering topics like feelings, relationships, diversity and mental health, these comforting picture books support healthy discussion right from the start.
Praise for It's Ok to Cry :
'The text [...] is very clear and will prompt lots of discussion. Equipped with the ability to articulate to themselves and others exactly how they are feeling and why will enable children to deal with strong emotions. The illustrations by Sarah Jennings are fun and friendly, and Potter's approach will prove very helpful for children, parents and teachers alike.' -- Chosen as book of the week - Books for Keeps
