Brown, P. (2011). You Will By My Friend! New York: Little, Brown and Co.
Over the years I have learned three important lessons about making new friends.
Lesson 1: Always be yourself.
Lesson 2: New fiends appear when you least expect it.
Lesson 3: Do not scream, "YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND!" at people. Trust me, that
never works.
Lucy bear wakes up one morning determined to make a new friend. At first she is too exuberant, ruining things by accident. Next she tries to fit in by copying others - also not popular. Then she tries threatening or ordering people to be her friend. When she has finally given up, a friend appears. This colourful, cartoon-like picture book uses boxy illustrations and large speech bubbles to express Lucy's excitement and frustration. It is a great conversation starter for talking about strategies for making friends - ones that work, and ones that don't.
