💡 Visit
Life Is Better With Friends at booth 82 and check out their fun, interactive 'My Friends and I" friendship book for kids aged 5-12 (see picture above)! The book takes a journey from friend to friend, with each one answering cool questions like, “What’s your favorite food?”, “What do you like to do in your free time?”, “What songs do you love?”, “What books do you enjoy?”, and “What do you want to be when you grow up?” There’s even a spot for a photo or a drawing!
My Friends and I is a great way for kids to learn more about their friends, make new connections, and create memories they’ll treasure. Plus, the book will be available at a special price, and there will be fun goodies for the kids!
