A Friend for Henry cover

2020 Schneider Family Honor Book

In Classroom Six, second left down the hall, Henry has been on the lookout for a friend. A friend who shares. A friend who listens. Maybe even a friend who likes things to stay the same and all in order, as Henry does. But on a day full of too close and too loud, when nothing seems to go right, will Henry ever find a friend—or will a friend find him? With insight and warmth, this heartfelt story from the perspective of a boy on the autism spectrum celebrates the everyday magic of friendship.

"This is a sweet, heartfelt story that will help kids see other people’s perspectives." -- Imagination Soup
"All young readers will empathise with Henry and find reassurance in the book’s ultimate message of hope." -- BookTrust
