Friends by Daniela Sosa - ESSENTIAL

Friends by Daniela Sosa
. PICTURE BOOK. Paula Wiseman Book (Simon & Schuster), 2022. $19. 9781665911474

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This is not a book with a plot. This is a book of reflections about friendship. Examples of the good and bad things that happen in friendship are used which makes the book meaningful instead of trite. Every child should be able to see themselves in this book. Sosa's illustrations are charming! The color palette of teal and orange is bright and soothing at the same time. The figures of the children evoke emotions and take the reader back to similar experiences in their own lives. The overall hopeful message is one many children need to feel and believe.
