How I Made a Friend

Winner of the Purple Dragonfly Book Award - Best Picture Book

"Decades of research confirm that having just one good friend benefits children by protecting them from life stress and improving emotional well-being and resilience. Yet, making a friend can be challenging for many kids. Daniel Georges brilliantly tackles this age-old dilemma in How I Made a Friend. Hands down this is one of the most well-considered, charming, and captivating books for young children on friendship I have read in my long career as an educator and child psychologist." â Lilla Dale McManis, MEd, PhD - Psychologist specializing in child development, education, and parenting
