With a Friend by Your Side, by Barbara Kerley

From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 3—Kerley explored the importance of water in A Cool Drink of Water (2002), parents and kids in You and Me Together (2005), and peace in A Little Peace (2007, all National Geographic). Now, in this oversize volume, excellent photographs of friends from around the world are paired with simple but touching text to demonstrate that all people need friends to care about. The photographs have a nice mix of young and old from places as close as Pennsylvania and California, to as far away as China and Jakarta. Back matter is included to extend the usefulness for older readers. There is a map showing where each of the photos was taken and captioned thumbnails of each photo. There is also a page with a short passage about the importance of being kind to all people and a brief note to parents and caregivers with some online resources for helping kids make friends, and how to handle bullying. A few well-known quotes about friendship add a final touch ("The only way to have a friend is to be one." Ralph Waldo Emerson). VERDICT The wonderful photography and gentle text make this a good choice to read aloud at the beginning of a discussion of friendship or to showcase what all humans have in common.—Laura Stanfield, Campbell County Public Library, Ft. Thomas, KY

Great multicultural friend book By August I had been looking for a good book for my toddler that explores people in all cultures and colors without suggestion (and with photos rather than drawings). I did not want a "we are different we are the same" kind of book because I didn't want her to wonder, why would anyone even think we're different (there must be something to that!)? So, I was looking for a book that showed lots of different people in lots of different backgrounds enjoying life. I found this one.My LO has grown out of "Global Babies" board book and is not yet old enough to enjoy "The Family of Man" which was a favorite of mine from about age 7 onwards (adults and children should definitely check it out!) So I tried this as an intermediary.LO is 22 months and while she enjoyed this book, I think it would be better for someone a little older or who at least is already in multi-child daycare or preschool. Most of the photos are of kids ages 7-13, a few seniors, a few dogs. On the other had, perhaps it helps introduce the concept of "friend." But, it very much had the feel I was going for in terms of a multicultural book.So, five stars for sending multiple good messages!I had checked this out from the library. We will renew it until I can find a book with kids more her age in it. Then, we will go back to this one when she is a bit older.

The best part of having and being a friend is having someone to share with. These pages are filled with wonderful photography. Author Barbara Kerley has always valued the importance of friendship. Readers will see first-hand by viewing the stunning images of what friends do together. Readers may even recognize similarities in some of the things they do and share with their friends or family. Short sentences put rhyme and focus to what readers will see, therefore connecting the vibrant photography to the meaning of friendship. For example, one image shows a young girl dressed in pink sharing an ice cream cone coated with sprinkles with a large white dog with black spots. Another image has three boys sliding down a muddy slide. The words turn the readers focus to friends being brave together. Another photo shows two girls sitting on the floor in the aisle at a library sharing a favorite book. There is lots to see and ponder.Author Barbara Kerley wants readers to see and feel what it means to have and be a friend no matter what you like to do. Sharing is caring and this heart felt view into the meaning of friendship would be a very important reminder or tool for any library.Courtesy of Media Masters Publicity
