When someone supports you and helps you, and stands by you, even when others stand against you (because you are doing right) then you know for certain that person is truly your friend. There are few people like this in the world; and when you have a friend like this, then you need to treasure that friend.

Use this fun, ‘learn to read’ book by the award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, to practice your reading skills through word, recognition, word repetition and rhyme. And then take some time to think about what it means to be a true friend and to have a true friend. Then think about things that are important to you, and make a book of your very own!

Enjoy some familiar Dyan characters as you read, and don’t forget that friends come in all sizes and shapes and colors! But most important of all, you need to remember to have fun learning; because if a kid doesn’t have fun learning, a kid won’t love to learn. When you’re finished reading, you can go to the Bellissimavideo YouTube channel and watch the free music video that goes with this book for even more learning fun!
