This book is for kids and their parents. Whether or not they’re dealing with regular “kid” problems, ADHD, depression, or anxiety, making and keeping friends sometimes seems to be more difficult for certain children, and yet, it’s one of the most important skillsets for a successful life.

The illustrations are large, the font size is intentionally bigger, and the information is presented in easily digested bite-size pieces.
