Publisher's Review
“I think my friends hate me.”
“I keep getting swayed by my friends.”
“I’m worried that I’ll approach my friend and be rejected.”
“I don’t have any friends I like.”
A compassionate counseling center that provides solutions to the worries of children struggling with peer issues.
There are many children who are shaken by problems with friends.
A child who complains that he has no friends, a child who worries that his friends will ostracize him, a child who feels anxious because his friends don't do what he wants, a child who gets stressed because his friends drag him around, a child who plays alone because he says he doesn't need friends...
Because they have not yet escaped from self-centered thinking or have not yet developed self-esteem, the process of forming relationships is bound to be awkward.
What advice can we give to children who are just beginning to form relationships?
This book doesn't tell you the answer to solving your friendship problems.
However, it helps us to look at the problem objectively through the main character in the book who has similar concerns, to accurately understand our own mind, and to understand the mind of our friend.
For a child who has been hurt by guessing at a friend's feelings, we teach them that their friend may have his or her own circumstances, and for a child who is suffering because of a friend's mistake, we teach them that they need to express their discomfort accurately.
You can learn the know-how to build strong relationships, such as expressing yourself honestly, being respectful and considerate, and not avoiding negative emotions.
This book is filled with the author's affectionate heart, as he wanted to help children develop healthier friendships, as the wounds of interpersonal relationships experienced in childhood can remain as fears even in adulthood.
When you think, “Am I the only one having a hard time because of my friend?”
A book that provides comfort, encouragement, and builds confidence in friendships.
The book contains 25 friendship concerns carefully selected by the author.
The stories are diverse, including Gru who feels lonely because he feels like he's the only one without a best friend, Sammy who feels upset because he finds out his friend has been badmouthing him, and Byeolnan who feels upset because he always seems to be the one making concessions.
Rather than simply throwing out a problem and focusing on explaining a solution, present a specific situation in a friendly cartoon format, so children can immerse themselves in it and empathize, saying, "Oh! I've been there too!"
It gives comfort and courage to children who are suffering, thinking that they are the only ones going through this, by saying, “I’m not the only one!”
The manga's creator, Sukkai, delicately created the story with lovely characters that embody nature, such as clouds, rainbows, peanuts, and water droplets.
By creating comics with realistic dialogue and scenes, young readers can enrich their reading experience through role-playing activities at home or school.
At the end of each chapter, examples of how the main characters from the comic solved problems based on the counseling content were provided.
When children encounter similar problems, they can get hints on how to find solutions.
Through these exercises, I hope that children will become strong individuals who can confidently make friends, protect themselves, and maintain good relationships.
