Buddy Benches are arriving in schoolyards across the nation. In this
story, the buddy bench launches two new friends on a chilly adventure.
On a surprisingly snowy day in Texas, a young student finds himself
braving recess alone. That is until he spots a new face sitting on the
school's Buddy Bench. After a quick introduction, the two spend their
recess discovering fun ways to enjoy the snow. By the end of recess,
both kids leave the playground with a brand new friend. This sweet story
of friendship brings the Buddy Bench's purpose to life.

to other kids to ask them to play. The wonderful trend of Buddy Benches
is growing across the country as schools and parent groups promote them
as a powerful tool to end loneliness and promote empathy in children.
