Natioanl Make a Friend Day Banner

National Make A Friend Day is on February 11th. To celebrate, here are some picture books all about friends. 
 

Meesha Makes Friends book cover 
Meesha Makes Friends by Tom Percival 
Meesha loves making things, but there's one thing she finds difficult to make; friends. She doesn't know quite what to do, what to say, or when to say it, and she struggles reading and responding to social cues. But one day, she discovers that she has a special talent that will help her navigate challenging social situations and make friends.

Gustavo the Shy Ghost book cover 
Gustavo the Shy Ghost by Flavia Z. Drago
Gustavo is good at doing all sorts of ghostly things: walking through walls, making objects fly, and glowing in the dark. But he's shy, and some things are harder for him to do, like getting in a line to buy eye scream or making friends with other monsters. Now that the Day of the Dead is fast approaching, what can he do to make them notice him and share with them something he loves?

Louise and Andie the Art of Friendship book cover 
Louise and Andie: The Art of Friendship by Kelly Light
Louise loves art more than anything. Imagine her delight when a new neighbor, Andie, moves in... and she loves art too! It's the best day ever. But liking the same thing doesn't always mean you agree on it. Can they overcome their creative differences? Sometimes, friendship, like art, can require collaboration.
