I’m excited to tell you about a new book by Coach Tony Dungy. Only this time, he has joined forces with his wife, Lauren to create a book for children called You Can Be a Friend. This book is a wonderful story that you can read aloud with your kids. The story is about a little girl named Jade who has some tough decisions to make about who to invite to her birthday party. Tony and Lauren have taken a touching story that will help to teach your child what it means to be a good friend.
