Description

Aya and Oskar love to go on big adventures, build amazing creations, and make up stories together. But when Oskar gets sad, his feelings grow so big he doesn’t want to play. And that leaves Aya feeling hurt and confused. How can she help when she doesn’t know what Oskar needs?

With candour and compassion, this heartfelt story shows that big feelings are a normal part of life—something to be felt rather than fixed—and models how to be an ally when someone you love is hurting.

When a Friend Needs a Friend portrays these themes beautifully, making it a must-read for all.

The friendship between Aya and Oskar captures an authentic duality of feeling both powerful and powerless, resonating strongly with both children and adults.
