CHILDREN’S DIVISION
Friends are Wonderful is a parent’s answer to the disturbing question from their
child, “How come my best friend does not want to play with me anymore?” This
book weaves a story of friendship that even the youngest readers can understand.
Friends and the challenges that come with long term relationships are unmasked
and made public. More importantly, Federico sheds an intitutive light on how
children can resolve their own friendship issues. There is a friendship formula that
Friends are Wonderful skillfully navigates children and parents through.
Julie Federico is an award-winning children’s author. Her previous book
topics include: child abuse, anger control, school violence prevention and now
friendship. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a Master’s degree
in Counseling and Educational Psychology from Indiana University. Federico was
a middle school counselor for over a decade and enjoyed great job security as
she worked through a plethora of friendship issues that all seemed to follow a
familiar path. This path of friendship, harmony, and disharmony inspired her to
write Friends are Wonderful.
