The Friendship Bench — Whitney Dineen

When Ella's BFF, Bella, moves to a new town, she's left behind with nobody to play with at recess and has to eat lunch by herself. Her teacher, Mrs. Fancy, jumps into action and facilitates the building of a Friendship Bench which becomes a destination spot for children needing a friend. The artwork for this book was provided by the children of Fir Grove and Oak Grove Elementary Schools in Albany, Oregon. Proceeds from the book will be used to perpetrate acts of kindness.
