Publisher's Description
Imagine a world where you always have a place at the table, where you always have a friend. This reassuring and empowering book from Emily Ley helps kids realize that they can always have a place, and offers them practical tools to give them confidence and help them overcome lonely times. We all know what it's like to feel left out, overlooked, and unseen. And this problem can be so much harder to face when you're a child on the playground, a kid sitting alone in the school cafeteria, and the new kid on the team. Reassure your children that they are seen. And they are awesome! Help them know that they are not the only ones--everyone has felt lonely or left out at some time or another--and there are lots of ways to always have a friend. You'll Always Have a Friend features vibrant illustrations of a diverse cast of characters and will encourage children to have confidence to make friends and to be a friend to others. This picture book is great for children ages 0 through 8; will help your children know they are not alone in feeling left out and will equip them with practical things they can do when confronted with these situations; will encourage children to intentionally and proactively reach out to other children, to be kind and inclusive, and to help build a world where everyone has a friend; would make a great gift for baby showers, birthdays, graduations, or holiday gift-giving; and is a perfect back-to-school read to help combat anxiety, have conversations about making friends, and deal with these issues together in a healthy, positive way.

“This book is destined to become a classic. Delightful to read, captivating illustrations, memorable truths all work together for becoming a favorite of your children. But most important, the affirmation each child longs for will be clearly felt as a mama and child cuddle up to read this wonderful book again and again. The words will sing in their hearts and minds even into adulthood.”
“As a therapist for almost three decades, I have never encountered a time when kids were struggling as significantly as they are today. I wish every child had a foundational understanding of how loved they are by God and that they are enough. My friend, Emily Ley, has woven those truths into this delight of a book. Please order yours today. Read it out loud with your kids at bedtime or around the dinner table--as a reminder of who they are, how important they are to this world, and how deeply they're loved by God and you!”
