    Sometimes being friends begins all at once 

    And sometimes it takes a while to get acquainted 

    But then, as some small knowing grows,  

    You start feeling that feeling 

    That comes with having a friend— 

      

    Exploring the many shapes friendships take and how being a friend can be a gift in itself, this thoughtful and authentic primer on friendship invites readers to celebrate the wonders of companionship.
