What is The Not-So-Friendly Friend How to Set Boundaries for Healthy Friendships about?

When a new friendship turns confusing and unkind, one child begins to feel hurt and unsure what to do. With help, they learn that being kind does not mean accepting mean behaviour. By speaking clearly, standing up for themselves and setting healthy boundaries, they discover how friendships should feel: safe, respectful and enjoyable. Told in lively rhyme, this reassuring story gives children practical ways to respond to bullying, understand their feelings and build confidence in their relationships with others.
