I love these books。 This one shows a little girl who finds it hard to belong but figures it out。 Could also have students create their own friend to relate to Meesha！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Message is good at drawing but not good at making friends。 Will she ever be able to do it？

Измина доста време откакто прекрасната картинна книга „Напълно НормаНлен” на Том Пърсивал излезе на български език и вече бяхме започнали да губим надежда， че ще видим още заглавия от поредицата на прочутия автор и илюстратор， но… Ето， че изд。 „Таралеж“ добави към каталога си и „Миша търси приятели“， а това е книга， която обезателно трябва да потърсите и с която бързо ще се сприятелите。 Част от серията „Големи ярки чувства“， това е трогателната история на едно малко момиченце， което се чувства н Измина доста време откакто прекрасната картинна книга „Напълно НормаНлен” на Том Пърсивал излезе на български език и вече бяхме започнали да губим надежда， че ще видим още заглавия от поредицата на прочутия автор и илюстратор， но… Ето， че изд。 „Таралеж“ добави към каталога си и „Миша търси приятели“， а това е книга， която обезателно трябва да потърсите и с която бързо ще се сприятелите。 Част от серията „Големи ярки чувства“， това е трогателната история на едно малко момиченце， което се чувства неловко в обкръжението на своите връстници и така и не успява да завърже приятелство。 Но макар и свенлива и несигурна в себе си， Миша не се предава。 Какъв ли е нейният план и дали ще проработи？ Прочетете ревюто на „Книжни Криле“: https://knijnikrile。wordpress。com/202。。。 。。。more

Messha Makes Friends is a really cute story about friendships。 The story uses a storyline that kids are definitely going to be able to connect to no matter what age。 One thing I really like about the illustration is how they use dark and light colors throughout the whole story。 They each are balanced。 The pictures are darker and set the tone but also use a pop of color to make something pop out。

Meesha Makes Friendsby Tom PercivalHaving one of the kindergarteners pick a book they liked and read she pulled this book out。 Meesha learns not only to create her friends with her hands but how her use of creative nature is something she can bond with others。 Its a story of exploring your talent and sharing it。

We enjoyed the illustrations and it was a good story explaining how some kids can find it hard to make friends or be in large social gathering。

Hieno kuvaus erilaisuudesta ja siitä， että sosiaaliset tilanteet eivät ole kaikille yhtä helppoja。

This will be a useful title to suggest for children who have a hard time opening themselves up for disappointment。Meesha has a difficult time making friends。 Most kids are too noisy， too loud， or just not interested in the same things she is。 She begins to make imaginary friends out of craft supplies and recycled items， but finds them less than satisfying to play with。 When she attends a （birthday） party， she finds it too noisy and retreats to a quiet spot where Josh introduces himself and they This will be a useful title to suggest for children who have a hard time opening themselves up for disappointment。Meesha has a difficult time making friends。 Most kids are too noisy， too loud， or just not interested in the same things she is。 She begins to make imaginary friends out of craft supplies and recycled items， but finds them less than satisfying to play with。 When she attends a （birthday） party， she finds it too noisy and retreats to a quiet spot where Josh introduces himself and they form a fast friendship。Percival's gentle text is calm and reassuring， even when Meesha has concerns or reservations。 The artwork was rendered digitally on an iPad Pro with selection of media brushes in Procreate。 While most of the world is shown in shades of black/white/gray， Meesha and her world are shown in shades of blue， red， and （finally） yellow。 This makes it clear how limited her world is and how it expands when she makes the effort。 This is an excellent title to suggest for with who may not feel comfortable putting themselves out there - the rewards of taking the risk。 It would be easy to make this story preachy; I did not feel that was the case here。 A wonderful tool for counselors and therapists to add to their toolkits。Recommended for PreS-grade 3。 。。。more

Meesha finds it hard to make friends because she struggles to read and respond to social cues。 She uses her creativity and engineering skills to make friends she feels comfortable with， but they don't play back。 It takes an overwhelming situation at a party for her to realise her special skills can help her make friends and feel more comfortable around others。Tom Percival's picture books always hit the right note。 Meesha Makes Friends fits right into his series of books about worries， self-estee Meesha finds it hard to make friends because she struggles to read and respond to social cues。 She uses her creativity and engineering skills to make friends she feels comfortable with， but they don't play back。 It takes an overwhelming situation at a party for her to realise her special skills can help her make friends and feel more comfortable around others。Tom Percival's picture books always hit the right note。 Meesha Makes Friends fits right into his series of books about worries， self-esteem， emotions， and mental and emotional wellbeing。 This book should be on every classroom shelf。 。。。more

Meesha is neurodivergent， she has Synesthesia and processes the world just a bit differently。 She also isn't very good at saying the right thing or knowing when to say it so it's easier just to build her own friends rather than trying to make friends with other children。 Eventually， another child is fascinated by her making process and Meesha is brave enough to include him， so they're making friends with one another as they make friends together！ Meesha is neurodivergent， she has Synesthesia and processes the world just a bit differently。 She also isn't very good at saying the right thing or knowing when to say it so it's easier just to build her own friends rather than trying to make friends with other children。 Eventually， another child is fascinated by her making process and Meesha is brave enough to include him， so they're making friends with one another as they make friends together！ 。。。more

I enjoyed this book as it allows children to feel seen and relate to a character that may have the same difficulty as a character。

Read this to Ms 5 last night and she really liked it。 She's in the stage where she wants to make friends but， like grown adults， it can be a little nerve wracking to introduce yourself and start that conversation。 The idea that her exploring her passions and sharing her passions is a great way to start the conversation is something I completely agree with。 Find your people！！ Read this to Ms 5 last night and she really liked it。 She's in the stage where she wants to make friends but， like grown adults， it can be a little nerve wracking to introduce yourself and start that conversation。 The idea that her exploring her passions and sharing her passions is a great way to start the conversation is something I completely agree with。 Find your people！！ 。。。more

Another good book that I was able to read this book。 I think that this book is good for young readers。 I was able to read it to my first and third graders and both classes seemed to enjoy the book。 I really liked the message of the book。 I would also recommend this book to others。
