What happens when a friend doesn't treat you kindly?

Mia wants to be a good friend. She wants everyone to like her, and sometimes that means staying quiet when something doesn't feel right.

But when a friendship begins to leave her feeling hurt, confused, and small, Mia must learn an important lesson: being kind does not mean accepting unkindness.

With gentle guidance from the adults who care about her, Mia learns how to recognize unhealthy friendship moments, express her feelings, set respectful boundaries, and ask a trusted adult for help.

The Friend Who Wasn't Kind is a warm and encouraging children's story about friendship, kindness, confidence, boundaries, and finding the courage to speak up.

Young readers will discover that they can be kind without giving up their voice-and that a healthy friendship should make room for respect, honesty, and care.
