Having a best friend is one of the most important experiences of childhood. Adults, however, generally take friendship for granted (认为理当如此). They often feel the joy of having a best friend while growing up. But kids are curious (好奇的) and sometimes they cannot understand the meaning of friendship. This book describes the joy and importance of youthful friendships as eleven pairs and groups of best friends tell what they like and dislike about each other, what special things they do together, and why they are so close.
Their stories prove that best friends can live far away or right next door, can have different backgrounds, can argue and can stay best friends forever—if they know how to keep a friendship alive. The book provides suggested activities for best friends, such as creating a special language, making a best friend’s website, organizing a best friend’s party, or starting a best friend’s club. What is most important is to support each other when one of them is in trouble. The book also points out different kinds of problems between friends, such as how to deal with different opinions, how to keep their friendships for a longer time, and how to communicate with each other.
No matter whether you have a best friend or not, after reading this book, you will learn ways to get along well with others. Finally, you will find out someone may be right there, just waiting for you to find out how to become a best friend.
