Friendships are very important when it comes to our emotional health! Children who struggle with making and keeping friends often experience mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. They are, also, more likely to get into trouble and drop out of school.

This second edition of MAKING FRIENDS IS AN ART! is an inspirational friendship tale that follows a coloured pencil named Brown. Brown learns that in order to make and keep friends, he needs to know how to be a good friend.

Brown must find a way to share his many talents with others. At first, that seems hard, but soon Brown realises that to be a good friend, all he has to do is be himself! And to share all his special talents, like listening to others, being trustworthy, honest and kind.

Included are tips for parents, counsellors and teachers to help kids recognise their talents and be true to themselves.
