Young children often find it difficult to cope with change whether it's due to moving to a new home, the birth of a sibling or going to school for the first time. These new experiences can cause anxiety at first, but they also help children grow emotionally and teach them to build friendships. In Stories of Stephanie and Friends, young Stephanie and her family move to a new neighborhood and she is anxious that she won't make new friends. But when two kids on her street befriend her, Stephanie and her new friends not only introduce each other to new experiences, but learn that sharing the experiences creates a bond through which strong friendships can be built. Richard J. Trilling is a retired professor and self-employed consultant. He lives in Durham, North Carolina.Publisher's website: http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/StoriesOfStephanieAndFriends.html
