What is Making Friends about?

Starting a new school can feel daunting, especially when you do not know anyone. Sukie and Joe are both learning how friendships begin: saying hello, finding things in common and making room for someone different. As they play, share and listen, they discover that being a good friend also means noticing feelings, respecting differences and speaking up for one another. With warmth and sensitivity, this picture book explores the joys and challenges of first friendships, giving young children a gentle way to talk about belonging, kindness and confidence.
