Picture book
A World of Friends
Friendship looks a little different everywhere, and exactly the same everywhere.
About the Book
Kids meet other kids and immediately start figuring out whether this person is safe, fun, and worth their time. That happens in every language on the planet. This picture book takes young readers around the world to see how children play, share, welcome each other, and make friends, in places that look nothing like their neighborhood.
The takeaway isn't a moral stapled to the last page. It's the quiet realization a child comes to on their own, that the kid on the other side of the world is not so different from them.
Who It's For
- Read-aloud ages roughly 3 to 8
- Classrooms and co-ops talking about kindness and inclusion
- Families with missionary or cross-cultural connections
- Kids who are nervous about making friends
