Follow Pax the Penguin on a charming adventure about friendship and finding your place.
Belonging is one of the first big social questions a child runs into, usually somewhere around preschool: is there a place here for me? A friendship story lets you rehearse that question when nothing is at stake, so the ideas are already familiar on the day your child is standing at the edge of a group deciding whether to walk over.
A good moment to reach for it: Starting a new class or activity, after a hard day with friends, or any time your child is working out where they fit.
