Children's friendships transcend diverse backgrounds, just like best friends.

Books Are Friends?

Do you have a best friend who tells you amazing stories and teaches you new things? Books can be just like that! Think about "Dog Man" or "Pete the Cat" – they take you on fun adventures and make you laugh.

Books are like best friends, sharing stories and teaching.

What Friends Do

Books Share Stories
