I Want to Make Friends combines a children’s picture book story with a focused parenting manual for guiding social skill development in young children ages 3-6. The story is engaging for the young child and teaches both the child and parent about effective strategies for interacting with peers and forming friendships. It is a good example of a children’s book that addresses both the child and adult audience and their different needs.
This second edition of Black Fathers built upon and continued the tradition of the first edition by looking into the soul of Black America and seeing the integral role that the Black father plays.
