How do you make a friend?

Darren Chetty introduces his new picture book exploring friendship, illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat, I'm Going to Make a Friend, and he reads from the first few pages.  

This playful and heartfelt exploration of friendship, I'm Going to Make a Friend, is a wonderful picture book to share with any young child who worries about making friends in a new setting, as well as for starting discussions about what being a good friend means.

In this month's Q&A with author Darren Chetty and illustrator Sandya Prabhat, we find out how I'm Going to Make a Friend was created, as well as exploring inclusion in children's books, using picture books to raise questions, and why making friends is such a creative process.
