Almost 35 years after my kindergarten graduation, I still remember singing “Make New Friends” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” Those first friends are still some of my closest ones today.
If you have a little one preparing for a preschool or kindergarten graduation, here’s a fabulous gift idea to commemorate the occasion–This Story Is For You, a new book that celebrates individuality, uniqueness, and friendship. The friendly and colorful illustrations show some of the special moments friends share.
This Story Is For You will also fuel kids' creative impulses as it takes place in an imaginative play world, full of delightful details. Parents reading this book who grew up with Mister Rodgers Neighborhood will sense the same reassurance, kindness, and unconditional love they remember from their childhood.
If your child’s upcoming graduation means saying goodbye to some of those friends as they head to different schools, this story can help them realize that friendships can still survive separation.
Author-illustrator Greg Pizzoli has received numerous awards for his other children’s books including The Watermelon Seed and Good Night Owl. He is beloved by parents and teachers alike for his clear yet fresh text and clever, relatable humor.
