A friendship lesson among animal companions

A girl sets out for a day of games, a picnic, and stories with two squirrels, a snail, and three crows. The animals’ reactions prompt her to reconsider what friendship looks like from their point of view. Framed as a comic picture-book story, the premise connects consideration for others with the idea of a growth mindset, while keeping the focus on a child learning to notice her friends’ needs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring friendship and consideration
  • Families and educators looking for a picture book about understanding others’ needs

Book overview

Learn what makes a good friend in this silly story about a girl and her disgruntled animal friends, perfect for fans of Peter Brown's You Will Be My Friend!

"I am a good friend!" says the girl and she heads outside to play with her buddies--two squirrels, a snail, and three crows. It's a fun-filled day of games, picnicking, and storytelling, but is everyone having a good time? An unexpected turn of events suddenly challenges the girl to question if she's treating her friends the way they want to be treated.

This funny and relatable picture book about growth mindset not only conveys the importance of being considerate and understanding of others' needs but also provides innumerable laughs with its depictions of a sweet, well-meaning little girl who loves her animal friends maybe a little too overzealously.
