A Friend Like You: A Picture Book Giveaway

As promised on my last blog, here's another book in Frank Murphy's "Like You" series published by Sleeping Bear Press.  A FRIEND LIKE  YOU is co-authored with his dynamic friend Charnie Gordon. The bright, colorful illustrations are once again created by Kayla Harren


REVIEW

Here is the opening spread:
You'll meet thousands
and thousands
and thousands
of people in your lifetime.
Some you will only meet once.
Some you'll get to know a little.
And you'll get to know some friends so
well that you'll call them friends.


 "Go out into the world and make friends. The world needs a friend like you!"



Some friends will look just like you...but others will look and believe differently. Some will wear different types of clothes, eat different foods, have different presences. 


Good friends forgive,


share toys, games, laughter, and dreams.


I think this text and illustration summarizes the message of this book:


                                            

Back matter includes why friendships are important and a letter writing activity. In a day of emails and FaceTime, it's great to see a plug for old fashioned letter writing!


GIVEAWAY
