About this genre
Friendship stories show children what being a good friend looks like: sharing a kite string, taking turns on a swing, helping someone carry a heavy load. With more than 90 books, this is one of the biggest shelves on the site. Most are one-to-three-minute audio stories for toddlers and preschoolers, with longer teamwork adventures for ages 7-12.

Are there friendship stories for toddlers?
Yes, more than half of this shelf is for ages 0-3. Titles like The Little Wheelbarrow on the Gravel Path and The Magic Blue Boot run about two minutes, with simple repeated lines about helping and sharing.
Which story helps a child who struggles to share?
Try The Kites' Song, where Can shares his rainbow kite's string when Ada's kite dips, or The Mystery of the Glowing Stone, where a stone glows brighter each time it is passed on. Both are short and very concrete for ages 4-6.
Do you have friendship stories for older children?
A smaller set, yes. The Happy Heart of the Mountains and The Map of the Mysterious Castle suit ages 7-9, while The Secret of the Lost Map and The Slow Turtle and the Fast Bird suit ages 10-12, with friends combining different strengths.
Is there a story about friends who are different from each other?
In The Happy Heart of the Mountains, Mira from the Alps befriends Lara, who uses a wheelchair. In The Slow Turtle and the Fast Bird, Shelly swims the river while Dash finds a secret path, and neither could reach the Sun Fruit alone.
How can teachers use these stories?
Play one at the start of term or after a playground disagreement, then ask 'What would you have done?' Each book page also has a PDF download if you want a printed copy for a class display.
How is this different from the Emotions and Values page?
Friendship stories focus on what happens between characters: sharing, helping, playing together. Emotions and Values leans on a child's inner world, such as patience, courage and conscience. Some books appear on both pages.
