Friendship troubles often surface at bedtime, when the day is over and a child finally has time to think about the argument at recess. These themes cover the whole arc: a three-year-old making a first friend, a six-year-old left out at playtime, a ten-year-old rebuilding a friendship that broke.

In the story your child is the one who says sorry, stays loyal or comforts a sad friend. The fantasy themes, such as forgiving friends who mess up, move the same situations to a magical world, for children who would rather not talk about their own day.
