A Good Friend: The Superpowers of Friendship

Each of us can possess the superpowers of friendship, which help us be good and considerate friends to others and be there for them and cheer our friends on.

This is a vibrant handbook of touching stories, activities, and dilemmas, demonstrating that each of us has the superpower of being a good friend. It shows how the reader can be trust-worthy, considerate, tolerant, and kind, encouraging children to practice these qualities through character-strengths-based pedagogy.

This title, developed by educator and writer Merja Kalm and illustrated by Mira Mallius, is a great non-fiction book for both individual readers to go through, as well as for classrooms to go through together. A Good Friend is a companion piece to the duo’s first book, The Handbook of Superpowers for Cool Kids. These compelling books see a person’s virtues as superpowers which should be brought up and actively developed for a kinder world.
