Will You Be My Friend?: From the author of How Are You Feeling Today?

Description

What makes someone a friend? How do we make friends? What makes us a good friend? And what makes us not such a good friend? These are the questions Molly Potter poses in her fabulous new picture book. Filled with beautiful illustrations, Will you be my friend? is both humorous and charming, and prompts children to discuss the idea of friendship with their parents and peers.

Molly Potter taught for 11 years in middle schools as a class teacher, science and PSHE co-ordinator. She then worked for several years as an SRE (Sex and Relationships Education) Development Manager, delivering teacher training and supporting primary schools in the development of their SRE programme and policy and many other aspects of PSHE. Molly now works as a teacher in a short-stay school with children that have been or are at risk from being excluded from mainstream schools - putting much of her PSHE expertise into practice. She thoroughly enjoys writing teacher materials and prides herself on being able to spice up any learning objective however boring it might appear at first!

Each page and each theme will lend itself to discussions about what it means to be a friend and much, much more. * EYE * This book is a manual of sorts, and would be a valuable addition to any bookshelf.
