What is Be a Friend about?
Dennis is different from the other children. While some shout and others sing, Dennis communicates through mime, silently acting out everything he wants to say. Although his imagination is wonderful, he often feels lonely and unseen. Then he meets Joy, a girl who understands his playful language and joins in. Together, they discover that friendship can begin with a simple gesture, and that being yourself can help others see how special you really are.
