Tips on Not Being a Sucky Friend and How to Write Good Friendships

Tips on Not Being a Sucky Friend and How to Write Good Friendships

In this latest episode of "Dogs are Smarter Than People," we talk about how to be a good friend and to write good friendships in your books and stories. Friendship and children's books are a pretty natural combination. Carrie's own books are big on friends even when they are full of romance. Friends matter. And there are so many beautiful examples of friendships in children's books, but let's go with this Maine classic from E.B. White's Charlotte's Web. Wilbur blushed. “But I’m not terrific, Charlotte. I’m just about average for a pig.” “You’re terrific as far as I’m concerned,” replied Charlotte, sweetly, “and that’s what counts. You’re my best friend, and Ithink you’re sensational. Now stop arguing and go get some sleep!” In our life, Carrie is Wilbur and Shaun is Charlotte. Just so you know. DOG TIPS FOR FRIENDSHIP AND LIFE 1. You do not have to be everyone's friend. Choose wisely. Pick the people who don't bring you down. That's the base for the friendship that you get to build on. 2. Don't pretend to be who you aren't. Don't be Captain Boasts a Lot. Don't Be Mrs. One Up or even Madame Fixes Everyone Else's Problem. For the rest of the tips, check out carriejonesbooks.blog and search for "DOGS ARE SMARTER THAN PEOPLE."
