How to Help a Friend

Praise

A fresh take to the “it’s okay to be who you are” theme for young readers. While the focus of the story is on how different friends might react in a time of need, young readers will be introduced to a buffet of calming and self-regulation techniques, perhaps even finding things they can already relate to themselves. . . This book would surely be on Mister Rogers’s shelves, and is recommended for any SEL collection where books about empathy, understanding, and friendship are needed.
