Description
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.

Each page and each theme will lend itself to discussions about what it means to be a friend and much, much more.

This book is a manual of sorts, and would be a valuable addition to any bookshelf. It can be referred to as and when needed, empowering the child reader with a means to independently assess the friendships in their life, should they so wish. It's a keeper!
