CIRCLE OF THREE: Enough Friendship to Go Around?

By Elizabeth Brokamp. Three friends—Lindsey, Bella, and Kate—believe good things come in threes. They can play most board games, jump rope together, start an all-girl band, and do other fun things. But it doesn't always feel so fun. Somewhere, sometime, somehow, someone is going to feel left out. With vivid illustrations and easy-to-understand text, this story tells about common friendship dilemmas and gives children ways of finding solutions, expanding their circle of friends, and becoming even better friends than before.
