Making friends

Most young children typically start developing or seeking out friendships between the ages of 3 and 5, so it’s a great idea to start exploring books about friendships early.

Here are our top picks for inclusive books about friendship and making friends, featuring babies being social, toddler besties and children enjoying a variety of fun activities with their peers.

For very young children, a beloved pet or toy is often their first ’best friend’, so we’ve included some titles that depict these special friendships too!
