What is How To Mend A Friend about?

When a friend feels sad, worried or broken-hearted, what can you do to help? A hug might work for one friend, while another may need quiet time, a funny story or someone simply to listen. Join a child and a colourful group of animal friends as they discover that everyone copes with difficult feelings differently. Told in warm, rhythmic verse, this gentle story explores empathy, kindness, loss and the many ways we can support the people we care about.
