In You Will Be My Friend! by Peter Brown (Little, Brown, September 2011), Lucy (a brown bear) has decided that today she will make a new friend. However, as she approaches potential friends with that demand, she finds it much harder than she anticipated. Never fear, Lucy finds friendship when she least expects it.
Peter Brown’s illustrations are well done and the message about friendship one that little children (like my four-year-old son!) certainly need to learn.
