🎁 Your Free Story Is Waiting
No purchase necessary. This story is our gift to you, because we believe every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of reading.
🌈 Read. Talk. Connect.
When you finish reading, keep the conversation going. Ask your child:
❤️ "Were you a good friend today?"
💙 "How can you be a good friend tomorrow?"
Be a Friend opens the door to simple conversations about kindness, sharing, honesty, helping others, and making everyone feel welcome.
⭐ And Something Else Is Happening Too
While your child is enjoying a wonderful story, a great deal more is going on than it looks.
- They are listening.
- Learning new words.
- Thinking and imagining.
- Asking questions.
- Building comprehension.
- And discovering that reading can be fun.
📖 Read It Tonight. Read It Again Tomorrow.
Let your child choose a favorite page, talk about the pictures, and tell you what they remember.
Because sometimes something as simple as five minutes, one story, and someone you love can be the beginning of something extraordinary.
If your little one falls for Little Duck and Little Raccoon, the rest of the story books are waiting, and every one of them is written to be read in about five minutes.
