“We’ll be friends forever, won’t we, Pooh?” asked Piglet. “Even longer,” Pooh answered. – A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh

Friendship has always given me a warm fuzzy feeling, kind of like the same feeling of being wrapped up in a good book. Here are some cozy books to read today in honour of the United Nations International Day of Friendship: 

Without You by Genevieve Côté

This is an adorable story of two friends who have an argument and start to do things without each other, but slowly realize that they miss each other.

Charlotte’s Web by E. B. White

This is one of my all-time favourite books. It’s a story about the special friendship between a spider, pig and a farmer’s daughter.

Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel

Sometimes it's the acceptance of differences that make friendship special, a lesson Frog and Toad understand well.

Bear Says Thanks by Karma Wilson

This story goes to show you that when it comes to friendship, things don’t matter.

A Mountain of Friends by Kerstin Schoene

I really enjoyed this book that showed that even the clouds are not too high for a little penguin on a mountain of friends.

 

Bob and Otto by Robert O. Bruel

This is a beautiful story of Otto the worm and his best friend Bob the caterpillar, who looked alike and did everything together – until one day something changed. 

Have a wonderful friendship day!
