A delightful book about how to be a kind and thoughtful friend, perfectly pitched for children starting school.

Friendships are precious, but they can also be tricky to navigate – especially when you're little. In this charming and supremely sensitive book, we meet Sukie and Joe: two children making friends for the first time.

With words by Amanda McCardie, who has studied child development at the Tavistock, and pictures from Colleen Larmour, a rising star, Making Friends is the perfect tool for talking to very young children about friendship and everything that goes with it, from meeting new people to celebrating differences and standing up for one another.

  • Children's mental health is a big topic of conversation; managing early friendships can be a source of anxiety for both children and their parents. 
  • A perfect book to share with children struggling with loneliness and interpersonal relationships, especially as they return to school after lockdown. 
  • Offers positive examples and mindful tips for young children, carefully couched by Amanda and further vetted by a child-therapist.
