About this ebook
Friends make life joyful! This book offers practical advice for meeting friends and creating close friendships. Readers in grades 4-9 will learn what makes a good friend, how to avoid common problems with friends, and how modern technology fits into friendship. This series is designed to help upper-elementary and middle school readers navigate common social/emotional issues they may face at home and in school, promoting positive relationship building, empathy, appreciation for diversity, bully resistance, informed decision-making, and emotion management. Each book includes short fictional stories that exemplify an issue, followed by a nonfiction analysis of the issue and age-appropriate best practices for handling it.
