Varför behöver vi vänner? Hur får man vänner? Hur är en bra vän? Det och mycket mer diskuteras i denna charmiga och fint illustrerade bok som handlar om vänskap och relationer. Här undersöks olika typer av vänskaper, vad som händer när vänner blir osams och hur man blir kompisar igen, hur man leker många tillsammans och hur en bra vän INTE är. I boken beskrivs olika situationer som barn kan hamna i tillsammans med vänner, till exempel att någon är elak eller att kompisar vill leka olika lekar. Barnen uppmuntras att vara delaktiga under läsningen genom att fundera på hur de själva skulle reagera och känna och hur situationen bäst kan lösas. Boken innehåller även matnyttiga tips till föräldrar och andra vuxna om hur de kan prata med barn om vänskap och hur konflikter och låtsasvänner kan hanteras.

Alla kroppar är olika och alla kroppar är fantastiska.
