Rustad, Martha Michael Makes Friends At School, 24 pages. NON-FICTION. Millbrook (Lerner), 2018. $20.
Michael is nervous about his first day of school, how will
he make friends? His teacher has a lesson about friendship and Michael already
knows to approach other kids who look like they need a friend. He learns that
sharing similarities and differences are important and a part of great
friendships. He is excited to go back to school the next day. Large colorful
illustrations.
My library is filled with picture books that teach lessons
about friendship through stories, teaching by example. But learning how to meet
other children, how to introduce oneself, how to start conversations, and how
to be kind –those are skills that must be taught. This book is a great example of
getting the ball rolling on those skills. I will be sharing this book with the
Kindergarten and first grade teachers.
