This book is perfect for building social skills and boosting children's social emotional development as it relates to the wonderful (and sometimes wavering) world of friendships.

Learning to make friends is just as important as learning the ABCs. In Queen Kia's 8-Step Guide To Friendships, children learn eight steps on how to successfully navigate friendships in an authentic and practical way. Nykia, a self-proclaimed Queen Know-it-All, provides actionable steps on how to make friends, how to maintain friendships, and even how to let some friendships go. This "wise beyond her years" third grader loves to share her expertise with kids on how to positively respond to social and family situations that arise in their everyday lives.

By the end of the book, your child will be beaming with confidence as they will have a treasure trove of skills and knowledge taught by the Queen herself! Some steps include:

• Smile, for goodness sake!
• Loudly and proudly be yourself!
• Be ok with not being liked by everyone (it's not as bad as it seems!)

This book is the perfect read aloud for parents and educators of elementary-aged children. Each step lends itself to meaningful discussions and role-playing with your children. Gift this book to any child who is between the ages of 5-9 or to any child who may need a boost in their social interactions with others.
