Friendship can be hard when growing up. People mature at different times and can grow apart, but each friend is not always aware. It is even worse when there is an age difference between the friends. Today we are sharing a book with the narrator being the younger friend when the friendship breaks. It is a middle grade graphic novel called Wrong Friend by Charise Mericle Harper and illustrated by Rory Lucey. It is recommended for ages 8 to 12.
Do you know anyone into the Manga and Kawaii Characters? I have students who love them and create their own in their artwork. Today I get to share a craft book with you that makes it pretty easy to sew your own plushie or mochi doll in this style. The book is Cute Plushies and Mochi Dolls: Sweet Manga-style Kawaii Characters to Sew by Eriko Teranishi. Don't know how to sew? Don't worry there are tutorials in the book! And how cute would these be in Easter baskets, May Day baskets and more!!
