I've written two books and an audio/video series for parents about children's feelings and friendships. Every time I speak at a school or community event, people ask, "Do you have anything FOR KIDS about friendship?" Finally, finally, the answer is yes!
Growing Friendships: A Kid's Guide to Making and Keeping Friends (Beyond Words/Simon & Schuster) will be coming out in July 2017, but it's available now for pre-order at your favorite bookstore. It features cartoons describing common friendship challenges and a narrator who explains what's going on and offers research-based tips about what to do. The stars of the book are a cat and dog character who wander through the text making goofy suggestions along the lines of "He should sniff their butts!"
