It feels like we're entering a new phase of friendships and relationships at school, and I'll be honest - it's hard. It's hard to watch her try to navigate the social jungle, and it takes me back to my youth, insecurities, times I felt excluded, and just all the ups and downs of figuring out how to be a person. (Full disclosure: I'm still figuring it out.) New release 𝙍𝙪𝙗𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙮 is a great book to share with early elementary ages kids.
