ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As a mother of two little bears, Danetta Shelburne knows how important friendship is to her young children. Having gone through moving as a young child and starting over at a new school herself, she knew how hard it was for her son when his best friend moved. However, new friendships are just around the corner, and Danetta had the privilege of creating this book with her lifelong friend from 3rd grade, Leah Meuer! Danetta seeks to teach her children to value and build lifelong friendships. After her son experienced losing a friend who moved, and then having to move himself, she wrote this book to help him cope with the experience and bring him hope that new friends would come. She prays that this book will help encourage other children who experience the ups and downs of friendship, too!
