What does one do when friendship gets hard?
In his book, Are We Still Friends, Randall Goodgame explores this question and provides insight for children.
This is a story of forgiveness, not only of one another, but of the forgiveness we have through Christ.
It’s picnic day for this group of friends and they each bring some snacks to share. Doug gets tempted by his favorite snack, and without realizing it, eats the entire bag of pizza snacks.
The only way to hide his embarrassment is to lie and put the blame on others but when he no longer can deny it, he admits it was himself.
The story covers forgiveness among friends in the sweetest of ways while also stressing the importance of honesty.
The characters are endearing and engaging, sure to delight any 4 – 8 year old child while instilling the godly principle of forgiveness from Ephesians 4:32.
Each page has large print which is easy for children to read. The illustrations are whimsical and colorful and will hold a child’s attention. This is a hardcover book which makes this a wonderful gift.

What a sweet story, and an important message for kids (and adults) about friendship!
This looks like a fun book with a good message!
This looks like such a lovely book! I can imagine reading it to my own grandchild. Thanks for sharing about it, Joanne. I’m looking for great new children’s books again. 🙂
