When Max and Jan invite Cinder to join them for a ride in their purple Jeep, the curious black cat is not sure what to expect. Their trip leads to a peaceful picnic, a surprising encounter, and the beginning of a brand-new friendship.
Filled with warmth, gentle humor, and colorful illustrations, Cinder Makes a Friend is a story about welcoming someone new, sharing what you have, and discovering that friendship can appear when you least expect it.
Perfect for reading aloud with children ages 3–8.
Young readers can follow Cinder’s adventure while searching each illustrated page for hidden rubber ducks. Some are easy to spot. Others are tucked into the scenery, waiting for sharp-eyed readers to find them.
The hidden-duck hunt encourages children to slow down, explore the artwork, count, and return to the story again and again.
Whether it is shared at bedtime, read together on a quiet afternoon, or given as a special gift, Cinder Makes a Friend invites young readers into a friendly neighborhood where ordinary days can become memorable adventures.
And Cinder’s story is only beginning.
