This month is International Friendship Month, and that’s something we can get onboard celebrating! Friendship is one of the best gifts in life, no matter what age you are. Be sure to pick a few books from this list and read them as a family this month. We can always use reminders of what it’s like to be a good friend.

Although January is International Friendship Month, every month is a good month to be a friend. Today is a great opportunity to start those conversations with your little one. As they talk about the people they know who make them feel accepted, encourage them to be a friend to others their age.
