Product Details
Overview
The newest book in the award-winning What Does It Mean to Be…? series is all about friendship. A perfect gift for back-to-school, birthdays, and every new friendship in between!
What does it mean to be a friend?
Does it mean buying presents? No!
Does it mean spending every single minute together? No!
Does it mean only hanging out with people who are just like you? Definitely not!
Being a real friend means helping someone feel free to be themselves. It means listening when it matters, showing up, forgiving, sticking up for each other, and celebrating what makes each of you different.
Series creator Rana DiOrio teams up with Houston Kraft, co-founder of CharacterStrong, the character-education program used in more than 12,000 schools, for a warm read-aloud made for calling out the answers. Saoirse Lou's bright, inclusive art fills every page with a wonderfully varied cast of friends, plus a dog-and-cat duo hidden throughout for kids to find on every reread.
This is a heartfelt celebration of the first big relationship kids build on their own, and a reminder that being a good friend is one of the best things you can be.
Perfect for: back-to-school, birthdays, kindergarten graduation, and classroom social-emotional learning.
Also in the series: What Does It Mean to Be Kind?, What Does It Mean to Be Green?, and What Does It Mean to Be American?
