Bedtime stories about friendship
Picture-book stories about making friends, joining a game, sharing, saying sorry and including someone new. Short and long versions for ages 2–8.
Why read stories about friendship?
Friendship is the theme that turns up most in Luna’s library, because it is what young children work hardest at: joining a game that has already started, sharing a picnic, fixing it after an accident, welcoming someone who looks different.
These stories model the small skills behind it, like watching first, asking clearly, and taking turns, in scenes a preschooler recognises from their own day.

A minute of talk after the last page is where a story turns into a conversation. Try one of these:
- How did the friends solve their problem together?
- What could you say if you wanted to join a game?
- Who is someone you could be kind to tomorrow?
Tips on asking questions without turning bedtime into a quiz are in our guide to reading aloud.
