Ava & Taylor Learn About Friendship

A Social-Emotional Learning Book for Kids

Helping children learn how to be a good friend starts with simple, meaningful conversations.

Ava & Taylor Learn About Friendship is a thoughtfully designed social-emotional learning (SEL) book that helps elementary-age children explore what friendship looks like in everyday situations. Through engaging illustrations and gentle reflection, children learn key friendship skills such as sharing, taking turns, using kind words, managing emotions, and asking for help.

Created by a 30 year veteran school counselor and administrator, this book goes beyond encouraging children to think about their actions, feelings, and choices. Each page focuses on a specific friendship skill and is designed to support calm discussion at home, in the classroom, or during counseling sessions.

This book is ideal for parents, caregivers, teachers, and school counselors who want a child-friendly tool to support positive peer relationships and social development.
