Who Needs Friends? by Jia Liu
Little Merlin the owl is so eager to make friends and tell them all about himself, that he neglects to think about what they want. After a few false starts with no success, he decides he will give up - after all, who really needs friends? Fortunately, though, Merlin then meets someone who is good at making friends. Who shows him that friendship is a fun give-and-take. Young children experiencing the ups and downs of first friendships will relate to Merlin’s plight and enjoy his funny friend-making tips - and even grown-ups will appreciate the gentle reminders to “share your worms” and “listen as much as you squawk!”
“Will arouse empathy and is worth sharing with youngsters spreading their own wings and feeling uncertain about developing social relationshipsThe guide to making friends at the end of the book will reassure children as well. The illustrations, rendered in ink, colored pencil, and digital collage, are bright, lively, and expressive; Merlin is a feisty character. Whoo needs friends? Tips from this owl protagonist may help children learn how to make them.” —Kirkus Reviews
