What Is a Friend and How to Possibly Make One?: A Children’s Book That Teaches Friendship Skills of Greetings, Empathy, Finding Common Interests, and More! (Making Friends!)

Is it difficult for your child or students to make friends?
Do they wander alone at recess with no one to play with?
You may want to help out but don’t know where to start, or
You may have tried many things but nothing seems working!
As the 1st book in the Making Friends! series, What Is a Friend and How Do I Possibly Make One? targets the four most basic skills to start a friendship, including greetings, empathy, and so on. Young readers will take the perspective of the main character and learn these skills step by step following the story. At the end of the book, social situations are provided for practice. This book brings four friendship marbles for young readers to collect and build on their friendship skills.
The author has uniquely applied behavior science to children’s literature by using behavioral technologies and procedures such as Behavior Skills Training (BST) through instructions, modelling, rehearsal, and feedback.
This book was developed together with researchers, school teachers, early childhood educators, behaviour analysts, speech-language pathologists, many parents, and children!
