their successful friendship book for women--this time to help tween and
teen girls struggling with those awkward adolescent years gain their
courage and confidence by learning to make real and lasting connections
with friends.
An honest and humorous take on the connection between self-acceptance
and community, I'll Be There (And Let's Make Friendship Bracelets) is
a how-to for practicing time-tested skills to establish quality
friendships and navigate their ups and downs. For any girl who's ever
felt uncomfortable in their own skin or is still healing from
"friendship hurt," this book will teach them
- how to find and keep friends who accept and love them for who they
are'
- the importance of making friends off screen;
- to stay confident and kind in the thick of mean-girl culture; and
- how to "break up" with comparison and become a cheerleader for their
friends.
I'll Be There (And Let's Make Friendship Bracelets) will encourage and
reassure girls by showing them the value and importance of healthy
friendships. Whether breaking it down page by page independently or in a
friend group, they're guaranteed to connect with the book's insightful
activities and candid content, including
- thoughtful prompts, infographics, and coloring pages;
- fun quizzes, word searches, real-life challenges, and hidden messages;

- a how-to guide for creating DIY friendship bracelets.
From the supermom team that brought you I'll Be There (But I'll Be
Wearing Sweatpants) comes a compulsively readable and highly
interactive map for girlhood and friendship with a clear message: life
in our crazy and chaotic "plugged-in" world is more fulfilling
surrounded by real-life friends.
