Kids become friends by interacting with one another through activities and games. Each child experiences a small fear of the unknown when first meeting another child, especially if the other child is different ethically and physically. The story in this book encourages making friends through interaction, while validating the fears that comes from the initial interaction.
Because Soccer has been the game that brings together little boys in almost every part of the world, we used it to illustrate how a child can overcome this initial fear of unknown by finding commonalities with others.
Your child will feel much better about making friends after hearing about how Tutuh and Wawah became friends.
