A New Friend
New Home, New Friend is an encouraging story about facing challenges and embracing change. Acclaimed picture book creator Jonathan Bean portrays the uncertainty of moving to a new home giving way to the possibility of adventure.
A new neighborhood can feel anything but comforting and cozy. For one young newcomer, hers seems a pretty scary place―roads pile up, streets tangle, buildings are tall and filled with strangers.
But in a peaceful hidden spot just down her block and around the corner, she discovers an unexpected a broken-down bicycle she names Rose. As Rose is fixed up from handlebars to hubs, her beloved bike becomes a vehicle for exploration, fun, and, eventually, new friendship.
