True Friends

One sunny Saturday, an encounter with ants on the playground sparks an exploration of friendship by five playmates. The children discover that true friendship is big, broad, and strong. It can hold together a wide range of feelings and all kinds of differences. Like all Newbury Heights Club books, True Friends tells its story through characters who have special needs. Its aim is to increase understanding and awareness of childhood disabilities, to teach social strategies, and to foster social interactions across perceived boundaries of difference.
