Make New Friends: A Picture Book
Make New Friends: A Picture Book | Joshua David Stein
1 post | 1 read
From an acclaimed team comes this empathetic and reassuring picture book about the loaded question that every "new kid" or socially anxious child dreads: "Did you make any new friends today?" Tomasso doesn't know anyone at his new school and has no one to play with at recess. So, knowing his dad will ask, he resolves to make a few new friends. Each day his crew grows; there's Roland (a foam ball), Coco (a milk carton), and Karen (a very pink eraser). But when his dad insists on having his friends over for pizza, Tomasso knows that soon his secret will be out. Will his dad welcome his new friends, even if they're not who he expects? Written for any child who struggles with making friends or social anxiety, and featuring warm, witty illustrations, Make New Friends is both silly and sincere, inviting kids to trust the unconditional love and acceptance of a parent.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gosh, I loved this book. Every day a father asks his son if he‘s made new friends at school. He hasn‘t…not exactly. He draws faces on balls (Roland & Barry) and his milk carton (Coco) to be his friends until he makes some. Dad asks Tomasso to bring his crew for pizza…so he does. But there is no judgment or disappointment; they eat and Tomasso introduces all his “friends”. And they both know he‘ll be fine until he makes new friends.
