In I Can Be a Good Friend, children meet Maisy, a little girl learning how kindness, sharing, and listening help friendships grow. This story supports toddlers and preschoolers as they navigate everyday social moments, wanting a toy, noticing a friend's feelings, and choosing what to do next.
Written from real experience as both an educator and a parent, this book was created for those moments adults know well: when children feel big emotions but don't yet have the words or skills to handle them.
This book helps children learn how to:
Recognize feelings in themselves and others
Practice sharing and listening
Build early friendship skills through simple, kind actions
Part of the Cofident Kids Social-Emotional Learning series, this book is designed for ages 2-5, using gentle language, relatable situations, and warm illustrations that invite connection and conversation.
A comforting tool for parents and educators who want to raise kind, confident friends, through everyday moments that matter.
